It's a bit late to arrive, but I want to discuss a key milestone with everyone. Many people glance over project roadmaps quickly, but I believe that the "permissioned open data sources" in Q1 2026 will be a watershed moment that changes the game rules. Why do I say that? Not because it sounds more advanced, but because it will truly alter the entire growth logic of the network.

What is the current situation? Data sources are basically determined by the project team and partners—you get what you can access. But once "permissioned open data" is implemented, the game changes: the market will decide which data grows first, not a specific department’s BD team.

Some might ask, isn’t this just "adding a few more data sources"? The difference is actually huge. Under the current cooperation model, the ceiling for data supply is usually limited by a few factors—BD team size, how long business negotiations take, and compliance costs. But switching to a market-driven model, the ceiling becomes demand itself. Wherever there is need, willingness to pay, or arbitrage opportunities, data providers will naturally go there.

Once networks like Oracle liberate the "supply side" from project teams, the spillover effects will multiply exponentially. Because each new data source not only adds a functional option but also creates new possibilities for every participant in the entire network. In the technical plan of a leading exchange, this feature is listed alongside node auctions, staking mechanisms, and video analysis tools in the same milestone, indicating that it is not just decoration but a key switch for the next stage of network structural upgrades.
