In DeFi, How Are Price Feeds Secured against Manipulation?

Price feeds are secured through decentralization, using multiple independent data sources and oracle nodes to aggregate data. Techniques like time-weighted average prices (TWAP) are used to prevent sudden price spikes from flash loan attacks.

Furthermore, economic incentives and staking mechanisms penalize nodes that submit malicious or inaccurate data, ensuring data integrity.
