Someone asked, "What’s the big deal if the oracle feeds prices slowly?" ... Basically, it means your position might be passively hit. When the market moves suddenly, the on-chain data is still using the old price from a few minutes ago, and the liquidation threshold still looks safe. When the feed updates, the price jumps to the new level, and if you don’t have time to add margin, you get liquidated. This is especially unfair in pools with high leverage and low liquidity.


Now, whether I’m interacting or testing on testnets (who knows if the mainnet will even issue tokens), I always lower the leverage when dealing with loans, set an alarm to check if the price feed is lagging, and if something feels off, I withdraw. Airdrops can be grabbed, but don’t try to tough it out during liquidations.
