Update Threshold Implementation

Mechanism

The update threshold implementation serves as the foundational logic governing when a decentralized derivatives protocol triggers a state change or price broadcast from an oracle to the on-chain smart contract. It establishes the specific deviation percentage or time interval required to invalidate stale data and force a system-wide refresh of underlying asset prices. By anchoring this parameter to precise market volatility profiles, exchanges minimize redundant gas consumption while maintaining the integrity of margin calculations and liquidation triggers.
