How Do Decentralized Oracle Networks (DONs) Mitigate Price Feed Attacks?
DONs, like Chainlink, mitigate attacks by decentralizing the data source and the oracle mechanism itself. They aggregate price data from numerous independent, high-quality off-chain data providers.
This data is then validated and averaged by a decentralized network of nodes. The resulting multi-source, aggregated, and validated price is resistant to manipulation of any single source, making flash loan attacks on a single DEX ineffective.
