Fit

Choose oracle tooling by feed availability, update model, stale-data handling, chain support, and protocol risk assumptions.

Proof
  • Feed coverage
  • Update cadence and delivery model
  • Stale-data and failure handling
Avoid
  • Using a feed without checking decimals and heartbeat behavior
  • Skipping fallback design
Use the category job first, then verify vendor evidence against the same criteria.
