APRO Launches Oracle-as-a-Service Platform
APRO has launched Oracle-as-a-Service (OaaS), a subscription-based SaaS platform designed for prediction markets and DeFi ecosystems on the Avalanche network. The move represents a shift from providing infrastructure to offering a productized oracle solution. The project is backed by investment firm Polychain.
- APRO raised $3 million in a seed funding round in October 2024, co-led by Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, and ABCDE Capital. This was followed by a strategic funding round in October 2025, led by YZi Labs, to focus on prediction markets, AI, and real-world assets (RWAs). - The project's native token, AT, has a total supply of 1 billion and launched on Binance Alpha on October 24, 2025. - APRO's technology utilizes a hybrid architecture that combines off-chain computation with on-chain verification and integrates AI and machine learning to improve data validation and detect anomalies. It aims to solve the issue of large language models (LLMs) not being able to access or verify live data. - The company's roadmap is structured in three phases: core oracle network deployment (Q3-Q4 2024), expansion to the BTC ecosystem and integration of AI (Q1-Q2 2025), and implementation of RWA and prediction market data layers with commercial API access (post-Q3 2025). - The OaaS V1.5 launch in Q1 2026 is slated to introduce premium sports data feeds for major leagues like the NFL, NBA, and the World Cup, as well as book industry datasets. - While the card mentions deployment on Avalanche, APRO's services are already live on over 40 public blockchains, including the BNB Chain and Bitcoin ecosystem, providing over 1,400 data feeds. - Other oracle solutions available on the Avalanche network include RedStone, Pyth Network, and DIA, each offering different models for providing real-world data to decentralized applications. - The broader Avalanche DeFi ecosystem has seen significant growth, partly driven by incentive programs like the BOOST campaign, with the total value locked (TVL) on the Trader Joe exchange growing by approximately 38% since July 2024.
