In the Web3 trillion-dollar arena, oracles are like the braking system of a sports car—seemingly insignificant, but a disaster if they fail. Imagine driving a supercar at 200 km/h on a digital highway, sprinting at full speed. You're not afraid of running out of fuel; you're afraid that the fragile wire connecting to the brakes will snap at any moment.

If an oracle relies solely on a single network node for pricing and validation, it essentially bets the entire asset portfolio on the assumption that "this node will never have issues." In the era of institutional-grade DeFi and RWA physical assets on the chain, this gamble is too costly. By the end of this year, market requirements for system fault tolerance have become so strict that near-zero tolerance is the norm.

Many people don't understand why a dual-layer network structure is necessary, thinking that an extra layer adds complexity and delay. But this idea actually overlooks the core of "antifragility"—not to be faster, but to survive the longest when extreme black swan events occur.

The most appropriate analogy is the dual lock system of a top bank vault. The first layer is the service layer, like a global array of sensors constantly capturing price movements of BTC, ETH, and various altcoins. The second layer is the settlement verification layer, akin to a supreme court with final adjudication authority.

Traditional oracles mix these two layers together, resulting in a situation like referees playing football—role confusion leads to risks everywhere. Separation is not for showy sophistication but to ensure that if one layer encounters issues, the other can independently support the system. This is the true infrastructure need in the special era of 2025.
