Price Discovery

Mutuum aims to rely on robust oracle infrastructure to determine fair market values for supported assets. While the protocol is not yet live, its design anticipates the use of Chainlink data feeds—a widely recognized provider of decentralized price oracles. These feeds are capable of returning prices based on USD and various native assets (e.g., ETH, MATIC, AVAX), ensuring flexible integration across multiple blockchains.

Since precision and timeliness are paramount for liquidations and safe overcollateralization, Mutuum’s roadmap contemplates:

• Fallback Oracles: Alternate data feeds that can step in if the primary oracle experiences latency or an outage, helping ensure uninterrupted price updates.

• Aggregated Feeds: Potentially combining multiple oracle services, which can reduce dependency on a single data source and mitigate vulnerabilities.

• On-Chain Metrics: In cases where sufficient on-chain liquidity exists, using decentralized exchange (DEX) price data—such as time-weighted average price calculations—can serve as an additional reference point for valuations.
