Aggregation & Confidence
The Oracle Adapter contract doesn’t just take the first result. It:- Polls multiple sources simultaneously.
- Verifies results against onchain confidence intervals.
- Detects Outliers: If one source deviates significantly from others, it is discarded to prevent price manipulation.
Spot vs. Index Price
- Index Price: The aggregate price from external oracles.
- Mark Price: The internal price used for liquidation, which may deviate slightly based on system health to encourage arbitrage.
