Known limitations

What the contracts do not handle today, stated as plainly as what they do.

  1. If keepers stop taking readings, markets cannot collect them and are voided after the grace period.
  2. Selling is never paused, so the owner cannot stop a problem in the selling path by pausing. Any such problem stays inside the one market it happens in, because each market can only pay out the collateral it holds.
  3. While the protocol is paused, selling works but buying does not, so prices can only move toward sellers until trading resumes.
  4. Keepers choose when readings are taken. Moving a coin’s price and holding it across most of a market’s readings would change the result, at about the cost of moving the coin’s real market.
  5. The contracts have been through an internal adversarial review. They have not been externally audited.
