Governance & Security

Configurable Settings:

Volta Market governance can adjust oracle settings through improvement proposals, including:

  • Pausing/resuming the oracle

  • Updating price feed configurations

  • Setting fixed prices for specific assets when necessary


Robust Security Measures:

  • Price Continuity: Ensures smooth transitions during any system updates

  • Comprehensive Testing: Thoroughly tested in simulated environments before deployment

  • Audited Code Base: Inherits the security benefits of the audited Venus protocol


Specialized Handling for Correlated Tokens:

For tokens with strong correlations (e.g., Liquid Staked Tokens), the oracle:

  • Queries the exchange rate between correlated assets using smart contracts

  • Multiplies the exchange rate by the USD market price of the underlying asset

  • Uses dedicated oracles for each LST to ensure accurate pricing


Advantages for Volta Market:

  • Enhanced resilience against oracle failures or attacks

  • Improved accuracy of asset prices, reducing risks of unwarranted liquidations or inflated borrowing

  • Flexibility to adapt to market changes and integrate new price data sources

  • Increased overall security and stability of the Volta Market protocol

By implementing this battle-tested oracle system, Volta Market demonstrates its commitment to providing a secure and efficient DeFi platform for its users.
