How Is the Index Price Protected from Exchange Outages or Manipulation?

The Index Price is protected by being a weighted average of the spot prices from several major, reliable exchanges. If one exchange experiences an outage or a sudden, anomalous price movement (a manipulation attempt), its influence on the overall Index Price is diluted or removed entirely.

This multi-source calculation ensures a robust and tamper-resistant reference price.
