Oracles, as a key bridge connecting on-chain contracts with off-chain real-world data in the blockchain ecosystem, are becoming increasingly important, evolving from a single data relay tool to the "intelligence hub" of the on-chain world. It is recommended to focus on three main directions: modular oracles, AI-integrated oracles, and RWA identity-bound oracles. Oracles are transitioning from supporting roles to "value anchors" of on-chain order, ushering in structural investment opportunities.

API3 is targeting a more decentralized and flexible long-tail market for oracles.

Is there another important innovation in the oracle market? API3 launches OEV Network.

We mainly classify oracles based on three criteria (specific functions, data providers, data processing methods).
