The Bitcoin ecosystem is accelerating its evolution. From Layer2 scaling solutions to the implementation of Runes protocols, new application forms are emerging one after another. But one recurring issue is: for these applications to truly operate, they all require a common element—trustworthy off-chain data support.

Currently, BRC-20 assets and Runes need real-time, manipulation-resistant pricing on DEXs; lending and derivatives contracts require genuine triggers from off-chain events; cross-Layer2 asset transfers demand reliable state confirmation. These seemingly basic needs are actually critical in determining how far the entire ecosystem can go.

Oracle solutions like APRO are specifically designed for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Instead of simply applying general-purpose oracles, they start from Bitcoin’s security model to design lightweight, low-cost data solutions. By incentivizing participants through staking and challenge mechanisms to maintain data accuracy, they essentially internalize the logic of decentralized trust into the ecosystem.

In this system, the $AT token becomes a real medium of value flow—used both to pay for data services and to participate in network governance, deciding which Bitcoin applications receive prioritized data support. The more prosperous the ecosystem, the greater the demand for trustworthy data, and conversely, the application value of $AT becomes more prominent.

In a sense, a complete data layer infrastructure is becoming the watershed for the next round of Bitcoin ecosystem competitiveness.
