Oracles are usually invisible, but when they fail, you realize how strong their presence really is.
A delay in price feeding means the on-chain displayed price is still stuck at "yesterday," and your position has already been educated by reality, but the liquidation line is still calculated based on the old price—either the liquidation didn't happen when it should have, leading to a sudden chain reaction when the price jumps back up; or you thought you still had margin, only to find that at the moment of update, like a broken elevator cable, even quick margin top-ups are useless.
The most frustrating part is that during your review, you might doubt yourself: Did I see it wrong? Actually, it's the price feed that’s messing around.
Recently, the main public chain is upgrading/maintaining, and the group is guessing whether projects will move away.
I think there's no need to rush into imagining migration benefits; when the chain shakes, oracle nodes, RPCs, and arbitrage bots all go haywire, and the ones who often get hurt are those with leverage who think "I just left it there."
I'm not regretful about the outcome, but about knowing the price feed might lag and not lowering my position to be safe.
Anyway, now I’d rather earn less than be liquidated once again by the "delayed truth."
