BNB HODLer Episode 60 Deep Observation: Why Shouldn't All Computations Be On-Chain?

Many developers today fall into a misconception—believing that smart contracts must handle everything. In reality, historical data scanning, complex strategy calculations, cross-chain state determinations, and even AI model inference often result in two outcomes when forced on-chain: either gas fees skyrocket to unbearable costs, or reliance on centralized oracle intermediaries increases, which actually amplifies systemic risks.

Is there a better solution? The off-chain execution + on-chain verification architecture is changing this situation. By moving computation-intensive tasks off-chain for execution and only verifying result credibility on the blockchain, costs are reduced while maintaining decentralized security guarantees. This approach breaks free from traditional constraints in contract design, opening new possibilities for DeFi, cross-chain bridges, on-chain AI applications, and other domains.
