How Long Is a Typical TWAP Window in DeFi?

A typical Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) window in DeFi can range from a few minutes (e.g. 5-10 minutes) to several hours (e.g.

1 hour) or even longer for final settlement prices. The choice of the window length is a trade-off: a shorter window provides a more current price but is slightly more susceptible to manipulation, while a longer window is more manipulation-resistant but introduces greater latency and lag in price reflection.
