Forecast market settlement seems like an oracle problem, but it’s actually not. The real bottleneck lies in the early stage—how to design the contract. A well-designed contract can avoid most troubles; conversely, no matter how reliable the oracle is, it can't save the situation.

ngl, this is where most teams get it wrong. they're obsessing over oracle reliability when the real damage happens at contract architecture stage. seen too many protocols collapse because nobody bothered stress-testing edge cases in the settlement logic.

That's so right. Contract design is the real ceiling; oracles are just a cover.

Exactly right, contract design is the real king, and oracles are just the scapegoats.

Contract design is indeed the underlying logic; oracles are just superficial articles.

That's right, this is a typical false demand argument. The contract design is poor, and no matter how awesome the oracle is, it's useless.

You're absolutely right. I never thought of it from this perspective. I always thought it was the oracle's fault, but it turns out the design is the root cause.

Really, contract design is the key. If it's not done well in the beginning, all the effort later will be in vain.

Contract design is really underestimated. Everyone just thinks finding a reliable oracle is enough, but little do they know, there are already hidden pitfalls ahead.

Contract design is indeed the main part; oracles are just scapegoats.

If I had known that contract design was so crucial, I wouldn't have been staring at the oracle every day. Now it's too late to regret.
