# New Oracle Mechanisms

Here is a breakdown of the key features and mechanisms of the new oracle solution.

**Enhanced collateral price feeds:** In addition to the original TWAP, spot prices are incorporated, with additional price feeds from Curve, Uniswap V3, and Balancer.

**Arbitrage prevention:** Minting and redeeming transactions are conducted at different prices to eliminate arbitrage trades. This helps to protect the collateral held by the protocol.&#x20;

fToken mint at the minimum price

fToken redeem at the maximum price

xToken mint at the maximum price

xToken redeem at the minimum price

**Risk management:** Collateralized ratio is calculated at maximum price as well as stability pool liquidations. This ensures that risk is managed effectively, and liquidations occur at appropriate levels to maintain system stability.

**Net Asset Value:** NAV is calculated based on TWAP during non-transacting period. This NAV calculation can serve as an oracle price feed for various DeFi applications integrating f(x) assets.

**Additional protection measures for xTokens:** To prevent arbitrage trades, xTokens cannot be both minted and redeemed within the same block. Additionally, a transfer of xTokens cannot occur within a specified timeframe of thirty minutes after minting. These measures help in mitigating potential exploits and maintaining price integrity.
