Oracle Predictability and Strategy Formation
Automated strategies depend on predictability more than precision. Traders and protocols structure behavior around expectations of how systems respond, not just what data they receive.
Oracle networks contribute to this environment by establishing behavioral consistency. When update patterns, validation thresholds, and aggregation logic remain stable, downstream strategies can be designed with confidence.
Unpredictable oracle behavior forces participants to hedge against infrastructure risk rather than market risk. This increases complexity and reduces effectiveness.
Evaluating oracle infrastructure through a strategy-formation lens emphasizes repeatability. Systems that behave the same way under similar conditions allow rational planning.
In DeFi, predictable infrastructure supports rational behavior.
