# Vordex Price Oracle

### How It Works

To ensure accurate pricing on its perpetual trading platform, **Vordex** uses an internal oracle that updates in real time with every trade made on the platform. This allows precise risk management and fair liquidations.

#### Real-Time Updates

The oracle takes prices directly from swaps and trades on Vordex. Each transaction instantly updates the price of the asset involved.\
This avoids delays and external dependencies.

#### Coverage of All Listed Tokens

Every token with a trading pair on Vordex has its price tracked by the oracle.\
However, only tokens with **strong and stable liquidity** are eligible for perpetual contracts.

#### Simple and Secure by Design

Since **Alephium** doesn't support flash loans or MEV, the oracle doesn’t need complex protections.\
It’s **lightweight**, **fast**, and **built for the native environment**.

#### Integrated with Liquidations

The oracle feeds live price data directly into the **liquidation engine**.\
This ensures **fair and timely** position management and helps keep the platform **secure and efficient**.
