If you imagine Bitcoin as a heavily guarded yet isolated mine, then an oracle is like a newly laid high-speed highway connecting this mine to the external modern financial world.

When this highway was just being built in early 2025, skepticism was overwhelming. People mocked the idea as absurd—like installing a heart in a stubborn stone. But by the end of the year, those once steadfast believers who claimed Bitcoin should be kept cold and offline are now lining up to store assets through lending protocols supported by oracles.

This shift is not a coincidence but a result of technological prowess making cognition bow.

The most intense opposition back then was actually quite unified: Bitcoin doesn’t need oracles. They believed that introducing any external data would undermine the security foundation of the隔离见证 (Segregated Witness).

What is the reality? As Bitcoin’s second-layer networks and inscription ecosystems begin to explode in growth, the market sees a clear truth—without precise, high-frequency, decentralized pricing mechanisms, DeFi within the Bitcoin ecosystem is like racing at a traffic intersection without traffic lights; sooner or later, accidents will happen.

The emergence of oracles essentially equips Bitcoin with a sophisticated digital clock system.

From a technical framework perspective, this isn’t just a simple copy of Ethereum’s oracle system. It’s more like a multi-dimensional verification digital council. It adopts a unique dual consensus mechanism—off-chain, decentralized node groups perform millisecond-level quote aggregation, while on the Bitcoin script layer, verifiable logical anchoring is implemented. This ensures that the entire data feeding process is traceable and verifiable.

When you execute a transaction in any oracle-based DeFi protocol, behind it is this multi-layer verification mechanism operating, ensuring each price signal has been confirmed by enough independent nodes, and any attempt at single-point cheating can be detected.

Market reactions show that the lending scale within the Bitcoin ecosystem has tripled over the past few months. This is not just numerical growth but also reflects a shift in confidence in this infrastructure across the entire ecosystem. Those who once resisted the most are now the most active users, not because they changed their beliefs, but because technology has spoken with facts.
