Definition ∞ A price feed glitch is an error or malfunction in the system that provides real-time asset price data. These glitches can result in inaccurate or delayed price information being disseminated to exchanges, decentralized applications, or trading bots. Such inaccuracies can lead to incorrect trade executions, liquidations, or significant financial discrepancies within the digital asset ecosystem, particularly for protocols relying on external price oracles.
Context ∞ The discussion surrounding price feed glitches often emphasizes the critical need for robust, decentralized oracle networks that aggregate data from multiple reliable sources. A critical future development involves the implementation of more sophisticated validation mechanisms and fallback systems to prevent single points of failure in price data delivery.
