You stare at your leveraged position at 3 a.m., with a 5% margin to liquidation. The next second, your account explodes—not because the coin price plummeted, but because the oracle data was delayed by 3 seconds.
This is not a joke. A major lending protocol last year actually played out this scene, leading to large-scale forced liquidations of users. Behind the seemingly bizarre incident lies a deeper issue: while blockchain can achieve transparent code and honest rules, the data input layer on the chain often drops the ball.
This is precisely the core dilemma APRO aims to solve. Compared to projects that like to tell stories, its track record is more solid—over two years, it has accumulated more than $500 million in asset collateralization, serving over 40 public chains, including the BNB Chain ecosystem you use every day. Without overwhelming marketing, it has earned the trust of the entire ecosystem through the reliability of its data layer infrastructure.
The project's starting point is quite interesting. The founding team are not idealists but veterans who have worked in DeFi, gaming, and infrastructure. They have witnessed firsthand the tragedies caused by oracle lag or data tampering, resulting in huge losses for users, all pointing to the same question: if blockchain claims to be a trust machine, why is the data coming in not trustworthy?
Among these people are developers from traditional high-frequency trading systems, who deeply understand what millisecond-level delays mean in financial trading. It is precisely this pain point and their professional background that motivated them to start from the most fundamental data authenticity, aiming to build a protective wall for the entire Web3 world.

I'm really afraid of being liquidated at 3 a.m., if the oracle is just 3 seconds late, it's gone. How outrageous is that... APRO seems to be genuinely solving problems, without a lot of nonsense. Data is the hard truth.

I totally understand the thing about liquidation at 3 a.m. The oracle delay is really an invisible knife, and it's hard to defend against.

The moment of liquidation at 3 a.m. was truly incredible. The oracle lagged for 3 seconds and wiped out a month’s worth of my profits. Now every time I open leverage, it feels like dancing on the edge of a cliff.

Liquidation at 3:05 AM with a 5% liquidation line... That's why I only dare to do stablecoin arbitrage now. No matter how high the gas fees are, I accept it.

The issue of oracle delay causing liquidation has long been foreshadowed by on-chain footprints. A pledge scale of 500 million USD sounds solid, but we need to investigate which original addresses this money flowed in from and whether there are any abnormal movement patterns. To put it simply, no matter how reliable the data is, it can't withstand the fact that the fund flow itself might be suspicious.

Oracle delays are indeed a major issue. From the perspective of network stability and computing power, APRO's accumulated scale of 500 million is still convincing. With over 40 public chains providing service, it shows that data reliability is truly solid.
