How Oracle Freshness Affects Your Trades — The Hidden Execution Cost | LeverUp Podcast

Описание: On a perp DEX, the oracle is the price. Oracle staleness doesn't appear as a line item — but it shows up in every entry, every mark price, every liquidation trigger. Here's the mechanism.

In this episode:
Why the oracle is the price on a perp DEX — not informational, but the single source of execution truth
Three places staleness bites you: entry friction, mark price accuracy, liquidation timing and shortfall
Why oracle staleness is a protocol risk problem, not just a trader annoyance
What the Pyth Pro upgrade changed on LeverUp: 1.676s → 0.086s average measured staleness
How tighter execution parameters followed directly from the freshness improvement (and drove the fee reduction)
How to infer oracle freshness from mark price behavior during fast markets
Why high-leverage positions are most sensitive to oracle latency
Why entry timing during fast moves matters most for staleness exposure
