The beginning of 2026 looks to be very lively. RWA tokenization, prediction markets, and decentralized AI are all experiencing explosive growth simultaneously, making the entire blockchain industry feel like it’s been hit with a fast-forward button. AI-enhanced oracles like APRO Oracle have recently shown notable performance — not just hype to push prices, but actual progress in product iterations, with a lot of tangible work done in 2025.

On the technical iteration front, APRO has transitioned from the experimental phase to a fully usable stage. The OaaS model is now live on multiple public chains, sports data coverage is comprehensive, and AI verification calls have surpassed 2 million. Institutions like Polychain and Franklin Templeton have also followed suit, indicating at least from the capital side, there’s recognition of this direction.

The core competitive advantage essentially boils down to solving the old oracle problem — fast speed, low cost, and accurate data — these three requirements often conflict. APRO adopts the third-generation oracle architecture to optimize this balance. Supporting over 40 public chains, including Ethereum, Solana, Aptos, BNB Chain, and Base, demonstrates solid capability across performance chains.

For data delivery, two modes are used. Push mode updates data when nodes proactively push changes that reach a threshold, reducing on-chain operations; Pull mode calls data on demand, especially suitable for high-frequency DeFi and prediction applications. Currently, 161 price feeds have been established, ranging from traditional assets to sports events (NFL, NCAA), real estate, and gaming data, perfectly aligning with the prediction market wave.

AI integration is a highlight. It’s not just about using AI to process data, but leveraging it as a verification layer to ensure information accuracy. This approach can significantly reduce risks in scenarios with multiple data sources and complex requirements. As on-chain applications become more sophisticated and demand real-time data, the value of such oracle infrastructure will become even more apparent.

Honestly, I'm starting to have some confidence in the oracle direction. The APRO architecture indeed solves many pain points. The combined effect of RWA + prediction markets + AI might really be the main trend of 2026. Breaking 2 million AI verification calls—regardless, this data has to be there. What does Polychain's follow-up on this matter indicate? It still depends on whether it can truly be implemented later; don't want another wave of hype. The Push/Pull dual-mode design still has some ideas, especially for high-frequency applications. To be honest, supporting 40+ public chains sounds very competitive, but the real competition depends on whose data sources are more stable and accurate. The 161 types of price feeds are quite extensive, covering everything from traditional assets to sports data, truly riding the wave. If the AI verification layer can genuinely reduce data risks, it’s definitely more promising than just a simple oracle. Not much to say, just waiting to see which of these three tracks will explode first in 2026.

Whoa, 161 types of price feeds? This architectural idea was definitely worth the effort. Someone finally cracked the triangle of speed, cost, and accuracy.

Damn, 2 million AI verification calls really show that this number means something. But on the other hand, are oracles really that important? It feels like everyone is competing over infrastructure, and in the end, the big institutions are the ones who benefit. Small retail investors are about to get cut again. Franklin Templeton's follow-up does indicate something, but it also depends on whether they genuinely believe in it or are just riding the hype... Covering all 40 public chains is impressive, but it seems like only a few of them can really handle high volume in the end.

Hmm, the APRO momentum really isn't an exaggeration. 2 million AI verification calls is quite impressive. Wait, Franklin Templeton's follow-up is serious, right? Not just playing around. The third-party oracle triangle problem finally has someone daring to tackle it. Speed, cost, and accuracy—can they balance all three this time? 161 types of feeding ranges cover such a wide scope, from traditional assets to sports data and gaming data. Truly imaginative. But to be honest, the increasing complexity of on-chain applications really hits home. The value of infrastructure indeed needs a re-evaluation. The dual Push and Pull design approach is interesting. Node-initiated push vs. on-demand calls—finally, it's not a strict either/or compromise.

Alright, APRO's recent move definitely has some substance; it's not just pure hype.

As I looked into it, I finally realized that oracles are no longer just a concept hype... The APRO architecture really seems to be taking shape. Honestly, I was a bit surprised that Polychain and Franklin Templeton are following up on this; do institutions really approve so quickly? 2 million AI validation calls—this number doesn't seem fake. However, covering 40 public chains is truly a highlight... The main thing now is whether subsequent applications can truly capitalize on this wave of prediction market enthusiasm.
