What Is the Trade-off between Speed and Security in Oracle Data Delivery?

There is a fundamental trade-off: faster data delivery, or "low latency," often means fewer verification steps and reliance on fewer sources, which increases the risk of manipulation or error. Conversely, higher security requires more time for data aggregation, verification consensus across multiple nodes, and cryptographic proof, leading to higher latency.

Financial contracts like high-frequency options trading require speed, but must balance this against the need for data integrity.
