When it comes to oracles, most people's minds immediately jump to Chainlink. But have you ever thought about it? Existing oracles are actually quite "narrow"—they only feed price data. If you want to run NFL game predictions or betting on boxing matches on-chain, traditional oracles are basically not very helpful.

This gap has been seized by APRO-Oracle. On December 23rd, they launched Sports Data Oracle-as-a-Service, directly bringing real-time data for NFL American football, basketball, soccer, boxing, and even badminton onto the chain. The key is that the data can be verified and updated near real-time. On-chain prediction markets finally have a reliable data source.

They chose the timing very precisely. Currently, the prediction market sector is booming—Opinion Labs' cumulative trading volume has already reached $8.2 billion, and platforms like Bento that allow users to create their own prediction markets are also growing rapidly. But they all share a common pain point: where does the data come from? Who guarantees the data's authenticity and trustworthiness? APRO hits this crucial point perfectly.

On the technical level, their OaaS platform supports over 40 blockchains, fully compatible with mainstream chains like Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Solana, Aptos, Arbitrum, Monad. No matter which chain you build your prediction market on, you can seamlessly connect to APRO's sports data feed, which is accessible via a subscription-based flexible integration.

NFL betting finally has a solution, Chainlink is indeed a bit underwhelming

Wow, finally someone is working on sports data. Chainlink really is just a machine feeding prices. Wait, can we really trust this? Who verifies on-chain sports data? Compatibility with over 40 chains sounds impressive, but will users actually pay for it... The prediction market trend is indeed hot right now. It all depends on whether APRO can secure its position. Oh my, NFL data on the chain can still be updated in real-time? If this stabilizes, the prediction track could explode. It still seems to depend on actual trading volume; otherwise, it's just another hype project. I like the subscription model; it's definitely more flexible than one-time fee models.

Finally, someone dares to touch Chainlink's cake. The sports data sector is indeed a blank spot. However, with the subscription model... could it be another scheme to fleece users? This track is so hot right now, can the credibility of the data sources really be guaranteed? Speaking of which, LINK is about to be thoroughly taught a lesson by APRO.

Wow, finally someone is creating a sports data oracle. It's too boring with only Chainlink dominating.

Someone should have done this a long time ago. Chainlink only feeds prices; it's really not as versatile as imagined. --- Prediction markets are so popular now, and data sources are indeed a major pain point. The APRO approach is quite promising. --- Over 40 chains are compatible? Let's see how much actual user adoption there is; otherwise, more chains are pointless. --- On-chain sports data is definitely a blue ocean, but the key is whether the data verification mechanism is reliable. --- Another Oracle project. It seems every one claims to have solved a pain point. Let's see how long they can survive. --- Who will guarantee the authenticity of real-time data like NFL and boxing? Could it be manipulated? --- OaaS mode is quite innovative. Subscription-based is much more flexible than one-time calls. Thoughtful planning there. --- Last year, when炒预测市场, I was complaining about the lack of reliable sports data sources. Finally, there's a targeted solution. --- BNB Chain and Solana are fully compatible, looking to cover a broad range. But I'm worried it might just become another tool-layer project. --- Everyone is doing Oracle now, but how many can truly survive and be used? Let's see what happens next.
