# Oracle The **Oracle** contract serves as a bridge for retrieving asset price data, using **Redstone** as the underlying data provider. It integrates with the Pool contract to deliver real-time asset prices, ensuring that all operations involving collateral and liquidation are calculated based on up-to-date market data. **Key Features:** 1. **Price Retrieval with Redstone**: The Oracle fetches asset prices from Redstone's decentralized data providers. This enables the Pool contract to perform accurate calculations for borrow limits, collateral values, and liquidation thresholds. 2. **Stateless Design**: The Oracle does not persist any pricing information internally. It processes requests in real time, ensuring that price data is fresh and relevant. 3. **Permissionless Access**: The Oracle can be queried by any contract (such as Pool) to retrieve price data for various assets. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
