Oracles

Exploring the role of Oracles within Clone Protocol and their significance in facilitating accurate asset pricing and secure DeFi operations.

What is an Oracle?

Oracles play a crucial role in DeFi, acting as trusted sources of real-world data that smart contracts rely on to make informed decisions. These data sources provide critical information such as asset prices, market conditions, and more. In Clone Protocol, we leverage Pyth as our chosen oracle solution.

Pyth is a leading oracle network that provides real-time price feeds for a multitude of assets. Its reliable and decentralized infrastructure ensures that Clone Protocol can access accurate and up-to-date pricing information for seamless operations.

How Does Clone Protocol Use Oracles?

Clone Protocol relies on oracles, particularly Pyth, to fulfill essential functions within the platform. Clone Protocol uses Pyth oracle feeds to quote prices for any clAsset trade. Whether you are buying or selling assets, the oracle's pricing data helps determine the value of your transactions.

Maintaining a healthy ecosystem is paramount in Clone Protocol. To achieve this, we use oracle prices to monitor the health of comet liquidity and borrow positions. We rely on real-time oracle data to determine when a position on Clone falls below certain thresholds, safeguarding the overall stability and security of the platform.
