Any blockchain's financial ecosystem ultimately faces the same challenge: unstable data layers. No matter how prosperous the upper layers are, they are just illusions.
The value of oracles like WINkLink goes far beyond simply providing price data. They turn "data services" into a sustainable foundational capability—more stable update frequencies, more transparent data sources, and more comprehensive anomaly handling mechanisms. Developers can truly focus on product innovation instead of being overwhelmed by data issues.
Look at how on-chain protocols are becoming increasingly complex, and data demands are evolving. From initial single-price feeds to multi-asset, cross-market, multi-time-scale composite data requirements. Whether these complex data can be supplied stably directly determines whether the ecosystem can support more sophisticated financial applications.
What does this mean for users? The probability of risk suddenness decreases, the user experience becomes more predictable, and high-quality products naturally gather in this ecosystem.
Honestly, when it comes to finding the "most long-term reliable" foundational infrastructure, oracles are always unavoidable. They may not be the hottest track, but they are often the underlying capability that decides life or death at critical moments.

No matter how much innovation is added when the data layer is broken, it's all in vain. This point is spot on. Oracles are really a thankless job, but they are also a matter of life and death.

The collapse of the data layer truly marks the end. I've seen too many projects die here before. Oracles are really underestimated...

Oracles really need to be taken seriously; the stability of the data directly determines life or death.

If the data layer collapses, the entire ecosystem will have to be buried with it, and this cannot be denied. Oracles are indeed the kind of thing that "you don't notice when nothing happens, but when an issue occurs, it's a major accident." Stable price feeding solutions like WINkLink are definitely much better than those that occasionally malfunction.
