Have you ever thought about how we are submerged in a sea of information every day, but our ability to distinguish what is true and what is false is getting weaker and weaker?
A sensational news story, a digital contract, an online image—how costly is it to quickly verify the authenticity of these things? The traditional approach is to seek authoritative endorsements: notary offices, credit agencies, major media. It sounds reliable, but the problems are quite painful: high barriers, limited coverage, and most importantly, the power to judge truth or falsehood is concentrated in the hands of a few large institutions.
This has led to serious information asymmetry. Small businesses, independent developers, ordinary people? They simply cannot obtain the same level of trust verification as the big players. This trust gap is invisible and intangible, but it significantly increases the costs of social and economic cooperation.
So, how does APRO(AT) view this issue?
Its answer is quite interesting: instead of following the traditional oracle route of "data carriers," it uses code combined with a globally distributed network consensus to create an open, trusted data layer. In other words, it aims to turn the verification of authenticity from a privilege of the few into a public infrastructure that everyone can participate in and trust.
The logic behind this is clear: when you invest in AT, you are not just betting on price fluctuations, but supporting a vision to rebuild the cornerstone of "trust." In an age of information explosion, how much is a trusted data layer worth? It might be more worth pondering than just looking at candlestick charts.

Uh, the centralized verification system definitely needs to be changed; the concentration of power is too terrifying.

Decentralized verification is indeed a pain point, but can AT solve the trust issue? It still depends on subsequent implementation.

Information asymmetry indeed hits the nail on the head, but can decentralized verification really solve the problem of centralized power? I'm still a bit skeptical.

Really, the trust cost should have been redesigned long ago. The idea that distributed consensus breaks the monopoly of centralization makes sense.

The idea of decentralizing the power of information verification is indeed interesting, but it still depends on how it is implemented in practice.
