Volatility Based Updates
Volatility based updates are an oracle strategy where the frequency of price updates is dynamically adjusted based on market conditions. During periods of low volatility, updates occur less frequently to save on gas costs.
When volatility increases, the system automatically switches to a high-frequency update mode to ensure that the protocol has the most accurate data possible. This adaptive approach balances cost-efficiency with the need for precision during critical market movements.
It is an intelligent way to manage stale data risk without imposing constant, high costs on the protocol or its users.
