Today I saw someone get liquidated again, cursing the platform verbally, but often it's the oracle price feed that is slow: the on-chain price has already dropped, and your position still thinks it's safe. When the feed updates, it can suddenly cross the health line all at once, leaving no time to add margin or reduce position. Slippage stacks up and makes it even worse. To put it simply, when I look at a pool now, I first check the feed source and update frequency, then see if the liquidator has the motivation to do the work and if the liquidity exit is sufficient. Otherwise, even the most "stable" collateral can be delayed and broken through. A friend was talking a couple of days ago about the spiral of inflation plus studio dumping in blockchain games. When prices start to twitch, delayed feed updates are like a ticking time bomb... Anyway, I don't hold a full position; I'd rather earn less.
