# Oracle Manipulation

Coupon Finance exclusively utilizes Chainlink oracles to ensure accurate and secure pricing data for all assets within the protocol. Chainlink's decentralized oracle network provides reliable, tamper-proof data which is crucial for the correct functioning of our markets.

## Why oracles?

1. **Determining Market Value of Assets**: Accurate asset pricing is crucial for the stability and integrity of our markets.
2. **Enforcing Over-collateralization Rules**: Oracles help enforce the over-collateralization rules to ensure that the value of collateral remains higher than the loan value, thus safeguarding the interests of lenders.
3. **Liquidation Procedures**: In scenarios where the value of a borrower's collateral declines to a certain level, accurate pricing data from oracles initiates the liquidation processes to protect lenders.

## Managing Oracle Risks

Even with Chainlink's established reputation, it's crucial for users to understand the inherent risks associated with oracle-based data retrieval. We encourage users to remain informed and exercise due diligence when participating in our markets.
