BNB HODLer Episode 60 Deep Observation: Why Not All Computations Should Be On-Chain?
Many developers today have fallen into a misconception — thinking that smart contracts must handle everything. In reality, historical data scanning, complex strategy calculations, cross-chain state judgments, and even AI model inference often result in two outcomes when forcibly put on-chain: either gas fees skyrocket to unbearable levels, or they must rely on centralized oracle intermediaries, which actually increases systemic risk.
Is there a better solution? Off-chain execution + on-chain verification architecture is changing this situation. By moving compute-intensive tasks to off-chain execution and only verifying the trustworthiness of results on the blockchain, we reduce costs while maintaining decentralized security guarantees. This approach breaks through traditional constraints in contract design, opening new possibilities for DeFi, cross-chain bridges, on-chain AI applications, and other domains.
