# Price Feed Security

## Price feed security

Tydro prices every position from Chainlink, validates the feed before acting on it, and restricts protocol activity when a feed degrades. This page describes the price feed controls.

### Why this layer matters

The protocol acts on the prices it is given, to value collateral and to decide when a position can be liquidated. A wrong or stale price is a direct threat to solvency. Tydro treats price integrity as a security problem, not just a data feed.

### Current controls

* Validated source. Prices come from Chainlink, routed through the TydroOracle contract.
* Staleness checks. A feed that has stopped updating within its expected window is treated as stale.&#x20;
* Deviation checks. The underlying Chainlink feeds carry deviation bounds.&#x20;
* Restriction on bad data. If a price is stale or invalid, the PriceOracleSentinel restricts new borrows and liquidations until a valid price returns, and the Guardian can pause the affected market.<br>

### On the roadmap

A multi-source redundancy layer that reads more than one independent provider and resolves disagreement between them is planned but not yet live. Until it ships, the protocol relies on Chainlink as its price source. See Oracle reliability.<br>

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tydro.com/vi.-security/security-overview/technical-security/price-feed-security.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
