Recently, I’ve been reviewing liquidation records of several lending pools and found that many people aren’t making the wrong decisions; it’s just that the price feed is lagging by half a beat. When the oracle quote is delayed, your health status may still look fine, but in reality, the system has already marked you as in the danger zone based on the “latest price”; by the time you react to add collateral or reduce your position, the on-chain spot price has already changed, and liquidators act quickly. Basically, it’s like racing against a dashboard that’s out of sync with real-time data.

Right now, I care more about two things: first, the frequency of oracle updates and how much they deviate from the threshold (don’t just look at the displayed price on the interface); second, leaving a wider buffer for positions, even if it means earning less profit. Recently, hardware wallets have been out of stock, and there are a bunch of phishing links everywhere. Security awareness has increased… but when it comes to position safety, many still rely on praying, and honestly, I don’t dare to take that risk. That’s all for now.
