Imagine you are on a high-speed train traveling at 350 km/h through a snowstorm. Outside the window, everything is white and blank, and the only sense of security comes from the precise, bouncing numbers on the dashboard—speed, direction, upcoming road conditions. If this dashboard stalls for three seconds due to low temperatures or signal interference, the entire journey instantly turns into a disaster.

In on-chain finance, the oracle is like this dashboard.

Last week, the market underwent a dramatic upheaval. On-chain traffic surged, Gas fees skyrocketed like a rocket, and most oracles' update frequencies began to resemble a slideshow—ridiculously slow. I watched the trading screens, seeing quotes frequently delayed, while APRO’s price curve remained smooth, precise, and stable. At that moment, I truly understood what professionalism means.

The "performance myth" is everywhere in the market, but extreme market conditions and network congestion are the real tests. Maintaining stability in such environments is due to fundamentally different underlying technology logic.

Traditional oracle pricing is like riding a bicycle during rush hour—if the road is blocked, you immediately stall in place. APRO employs multi-layer verification and adaptive submission mechanisms. In other words, it opens an emergency lane on the congested blockchain highway. Even if the mainnet Gas skyrockets to hundreds of Gwei, it can still ensure the timeliness and accuracy of core price data through efficient node consensus and data compression algorithms.

This is not marketing jargon; it’s what truly happens under extreme pressure. When other oracles stall, it continues to operate steadily—this is the scene of the underlying infrastructure differentiation happening right now.
