Finally, no more having to choose between "usable" and "true decentralization"
Honestly, developers are never most annoyed by coding. The real frustration is: in order to launch features, they have to bow to centralization.
Want NFT to automatically sense real-world weather fluctuations? Want to build a prediction platform that requires complex news data analysis? Both options are pitfalls—
On one side is integrating centralized oracles, which risks single points of failure at any time—doesn't that go against the original intention? On the other side, simply abandon the feature.
Only those who have built projects understand the feeling of being caught in the middle.

ngl this hits different when you've actually shipped contracts. the oracle problem is basically the serpent eating its own tail—you want decentralization so badly but then reality data just... doesn't live on chain lol. seen too many projects just give up on external data entirely, which defeats half the point imo.

ngl this headline's giving me false hope vibes... we've seen this "finally solved it" energy before right? decentralized oracles have been the graveyard of good intentions, tbh. still waiting for someone to actually ship something that doesn't collapse under its own complexity or turn into a single point of failure dressed in different clothes.

Damn, someone finally said it. I totally understand this pain point.
