How Do Cross-Chain TWAP Oracles Attempt to Mitigate Manipulation Risks?

Cross-chain TWAP oracles attempt to mitigate manipulation risks by aggregating price data from multiple blockchains. This makes it more difficult for an attacker to manipulate the price, as they would need to manipulate the price on multiple chains simultaneously.

This would require a significant amount of capital and coordination, making the attack much more expensive and less likely to succeed. Cross-chain oracles also provide a more robust and resilient price feed, as they are not dependent on a single blockchain.
