01 — The Root Problem
Traditional oracles create a 'trust bottleneck'. They cannot access private, authenticated Web2 data (bank accounts, government records), and verifying such data on EVM is prohibitively expensive and slow.
Web3 networks suffer from a fundamental disconnect from the multi-trillion dollar Web2 economy, relying on public APIs only.
Verifying private data through smart contracts bears prohibitive gas costs and latency, preventing institutional adoption.
