This risk can be mitigated when Directors use price oracles that aim to source identical price information from multiple data providers. For example, any oracle reporter can deterministically calculate the market capitalization of an NFT collection’s OpeaSea sales using that collection’s sales history sourced from Dune Analytics, Reservoir Protocol, the OpenSea API, or a custom Subgraph that monitors OpenSea’s smart contract events. Conveniently, when different oracle reporters send deterministic data to the blockchain using different technology stacks, they are also reducing price manipulation risk. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.mimicry.org/whitepaper/risks-and-mitigations/data-feed-downtime-risk.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
