Seeing APRO support the 45th public chain, I suddenly realized that its competitive moat has already formed.

Imagine if each public chain is a separate city, then the oracle is the infrastructure connecting them—the water and electricity grid system. Most projects are still working hard to adapt to a few mainstream chains, while APRO has already laid the pipelines to the 45th city. This is not just about stacking numbers, but a turning point from "tool" to "lifeline system."

By the end of 2025, when the multi-chain landscape is basically shaped, why is the news about APRO so impactful? Because it has quietly secured a position regarding "industry standards."

**How scale effects evolve into universal standards**

Many people think that technical indicators are the moat, but that's not true. The real barrier is "migration cost."

APRO's true killer feature is its modular adaptation capability. What does 45 chains mean? It means it has already handled environments with vastly different characteristics, such as high-performance EVM, complex BTC Layer2, and even new privacy chains. For developers, choosing APRO is no longer just selecting a data source, but choosing a "universal translator."

For example, a cross-chain lending protocol that originally needed to debug interfaces for different public chains can now be integrated with APRO in one go—this is why the infrastructure moat is so deep. Once developers adapt to this process, the cost of switching becomes too high.

45 chains? Things are really heating up now Locking in costs is indeed a brilliant move; once developers get on board, they can't back out

45 chains? This guy really put in the effort, not just messing around. Honestly, this is the real moat; don't bother with those superficial things. Once developers get used to it, they won't leave; the cost is too high. It's really a matter of who sets the standards first and gets everything in place to win. Alright, this time there’s actually something substantial.

45 chains? Oh dear, it's another narrative of "We've already won." But on the other hand, the migration cost is indeed tough—it's like putting electronic shackles on developers. Hmm... If APRO really becomes a "necessity," then later entrants probably won't have much of a chance. I'm just worried this might turn into another Chainlink-style story, where the cheap price is ultimately exploited by VCs. However, from the supply and demand curve perspective, the floor price is a good indicator to watch. The positioning at this point in time does have some insights.

45 chains? I really don't know whether to be nervous or to trust. --- Wait, so APRO has already turned others' migration costs into an iron gate? --- The industry standard's placeholder really hit me—once ecological locking takes shape, it's basically unsolvable. --- Modular adaptation is quite aggressive; developers might really get locked in just for convenience. --- Oh my, isn't this the fate of infrastructure? Once you enter, it's very hard to get out. --- 45 chains sound impressive, but the key question is whether they are truly creating value for developers. --- Migration costs are the real moat—this idea is brilliant, more ruthless than any technical indicator. --- Oracles becoming life support systems? Feels like talking about the birth of a monopoly. --- If they really achieve this placeholder, what can later entrants do to compete with APRO?
