Oracle providers used

dYdX v4 (dYdX Chain)'s assessment for RD-F-048 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Single oracle system: Slinky (Skip Protocol) validator-consensus oracle. Each validator runs the Slinky sidecar as a mandatory process (required from v5.0.0). Slinky aggregates prices from CEX APIs via websocket/REST; no Chainlink, no Pyth, no Uniswap TWAP. Cache shows no Chainlink feeds — confirmed as correct for this Cosmos appchain.
