Creda relies on oracles to price assets, calculate borrowing power, and trigger liquidations. Prices come from multiple sources and are validated before use to keep positions fair and safe.

​
What Oracles Do

  • Provide on‑chain price data for each asset
  • Drive key calculations: health factor, LTV limits, liquidation triggers
  • Update frequently with guardrails to prevent bad data

​
How We Source And Validate Prices

  • Multiple feeds: decentralized oracle networks plus on‑chain DEX data where appropriate
  • Aggregation: median/weighted methods and smoothing to reduce noise
  • Validation: deviation limits, freshness checks, and circuit‑breaker logic for abnormal moves
This reduces manipulation risk and avoids cascading liquidations from a single bad feed.

​
What It Means For You

  • Collateral up, safer: Collateral price increases improve health factor and borrowing power
  • Collateral down, riskier: Price drops reduce safety; monitor your health factor
  • Borrowed asset up: Debt value rises in USD terms; health factor can fall
Plan for some oracle lag and smoothing during fast markets and set alerts on your positions.

​
Special Cases

  • Stablecoins: Extra monitoring to detect and react to depegs
  • LP/derivative tokens: Prices derived from underlying assets and pool math
  • Emerging assets: Stricter limits and/or isolation until sufficient data quality is proven
Understanding oracle behavior helps you interpret health factor changes and act early during volatility.
