#战略性加仓BTC Have you ever thought about integrating on-chain applications with real-world data? It sounds easy to say but hard to do.
The pain points for most developers are very real: either they have to set up their own oracle nodes or rely on others' services. The former is costly and labor-intensive, while the latter means being at the mercy of third parties. It’s all time-consuming and laborious, and ultimately leads to delays in core product development.
The real issue is that the entire integration process is too complicated. But if there were a standardized oracle interface, it would be different — developers could call it directly, no need to reinvent the wheel from scratch.
For example, if you want to build a sports betting DApp, you need real-time score data. Or a cross-border payment app needs exchange rate information. These requirements can be instantly met through simple contract calls. The time and resources saved can then be fully invested in product innovation.
This plug-and-play approach significantly lowers the barrier for developers within the ecosystem. More ideas can be quickly prototyped and launched, and the overall innovation speed of the blockchain ecosystem naturally accelerates. This is exactly what infrastructure should do.

To be honest, someone should have worked on standardizing the interface a long time ago.
Running your own node is just a money-burning machine; it's really hard to put into words.
I'm optimistic about this direction. Accelerating breakthroughs must rely on infrastructure.

Oracle issues have been discussed so many times, but no one has truly solved them yet.
Sounds good, but has the standardized interface been implemented? I still see a bunch of shit projects scamming investors.
Developers have been fed up for a long time, wasting time and effort, and still have to gamble on project prospects. Truly hopeless.

The standardization of oracles should have been addressed long ago.
This is true infrastructure, not those flashy things.

Exactly right, the oracle part is indeed the bottleneck.
Setting up your own nodes is really costly; small teams simply can't afford it.
The idea of standardized interfaces is great, it directly lowers the barrier.
When developers can focus on the product, the ecosystem can truly take off.
This is the infrastructure mindset that Web3 needs.

Standardizing oracles is indeed a good idea; it can definitely solve many developers' pain points.

The standardization of oracles should have been done a long time ago. Coming now is just being reactive.
Honestly, the pain points for developers have been ignored for too long.
Reinventing the wheel is a huge waste of time. Isn't it better to just use interfaces directly?
This is what blockchain should look like. Infrastructure needs to keep up.

The standardization of oracle interfaces should indeed be put on the agenda; developers are having a hard time now.
Wait, who will ensure the authenticity of the data once standardized?
Agreed, infrastructure needs to keep up, or the ecosystem will always be bottlenecked.
Exactly, but the prerequisite is that someone must actually implement it.
This idea is correct, but in practice, it requires significant capital to push it forward.
