Data Feed Desynchronization

Data feed desynchronization occurs when multiple sources providing data to a decentralized oracle report conflicting or non-aligned prices. This often happens during periods of high volatility when different nodes fetch data at slightly different times.

If the aggregation mechanism is not robust, the resulting price can be skewed or incorrect. This discrepancy can trigger unintended protocol actions, such as false liquidations or incorrect premium pricing for options.

It highlights the difficulty of maintaining a single version of truth in a distributed network.
