Here's a practical angle on cracking the oracle problem: start by building out prediction markets focused on specific price moves. Think along the lines of will SOL hit price point X within N minutes. That's your sandbox right there.

The key is keeping it tight at first. Don't try to boil the ocean. Lock down the scope, validate the mechanics, then scale to handle the heavier stuff. Once you've got the basics working and locked in, that's when you go after the bigger challenges.

Hey, this idea has some potential. Starting with a small scope like SOL to experiment and learn.

As for SOL, short-term price speculation is indeed a good angle, but you need to think carefully about how the verification mechanism will work...

nah this is the way actually... start small, lock down your attack surface, then scale. too many projects try to solve everything at once and that's where the exploits happen. SOL price feeds are low-hanging fruit for testing, good baseline.

I just said that this approach is indeed reliable... Starting with high-volatility assets like SOL to practice is really a wise move.

I'm confident in the short-term price prediction for SOL, but the real challenge lies in how to verify it; otherwise, it easily turns into big players gambling at the casino...

Is this thing called SOL so volatile? Is short-term prediction really reliable? Or is it essentially gambling?

Hmm, this approach makes sense. Starting with short-term predictions for SOL and gradually improving is more reliable than jumping in with all-knowing oracles right away. Small steps and quick progress are the way to go.

Haha, SOL hitting X points within minutes? Isn't this just playing arbitrage games in the mempool? The threshold is lower than I imagined. I agree with the idea of taking it slow from small to big, but where exactly is the real arbitrage space? Starting with a single price prediction is a good idea, but have you thought about the potential in flash loans? Keeping things tight is to reduce gas war costs, smart. Gradually expanding? What I care about is when we can catch arbitrage opportunities across different trading pairs. Price fluctuations within a minute directly target the golden window for MEV.
