Introducing Aave's Chaos Labs Risk Oracles
In the fast-paced and volatile environment of DeFi, managing risk parameters across Aave's extensive network—spanning over ten deployments, hundreds of markets, and thousands of variables such as Supply and Borrow Caps, Liquidation Thresholds, Loan-to-Value ratios, Liquidation Bonuses, Interest Rates, and Debt Ceilings—has evolved into a critical, yet resource-intensive, full-time endeavor. Chaos Labs aims to streamline this paradigm by integrating Risk Oracles to automate and optimize the risk management process, achieving scalability and near-real-time risk adjustment capabilities.

Oracle Risk and Security Standards: Data Freshness, Accuracy and Latency (Pt. 5)
Data Freshness, Accuracy, and Latency are fundamental attributes that determine an Oracle's effectiveness and security. Data freshness ensures that the information provided reflects real-time market conditions. Accuracy measures how closely the Oracle's price reflects the true market consensus at any given time. Latency refers to the time delay between market price movements and when the Oracle updates its price feed.

dYdX Chain: End of Season 6 Launch Incentive Analysis
Chaos Labs is pleased to provide a comprehensive review of the sixth trading season on the dYdX Chain. This analysis encompasses all facets of exchange performance, emphasizing the impact of the Launch Incentive Program.
Gearbox LT Methodology
This methodology proposes a framework to derive liquidation thresholds (LT) and liquidation bonuses (LB) specifically for LSTs and LRTs on Gearbox, which are assets closely related to ETH. These tokens are fundamentally priced on Gearbox based on their intrinsic value as receipt tokens representing underlying staked or restaked ETH, when withdrawals are enabled. However, during periods of significant market volatility, LSTs and LRTs may temporarily deviate from their fundamental ETH value in the open market due to factors such as liquidity constraints, market sentiment, and liquidation events.
Oracle Risk and Security Standards: Data Replicability (Pt. 4)
Data replicability is the capacity for third parties to independently recreate an Oracle’s reported prices. This requires transparency into two key components of the Oracle’s system: its data inputs and its aggregation methodology.
