That settles the feed, and for a depeg it is the right shape: a pool EMA follows the market the loan is collateralised against, so soft liquidation tracks a bid that exists.
Two things it does not cover. Both are from our Lido reading on foreshock.tech, published 6 September 2026 and unchanged as of today.
-
A pool price is not an stETH balance. Balances are set by an accounting oracle that is a 5-of-9 committee of externally owned keys, and that committee is not a price feed. A late or wrong report changes what a unit of stETH is before anyone trades on it, and a pool oracle sees it only once someone does.
-
The feed is as deep as the pool. On the figures in your post, 18 490 ETH and 20 280 stETH, the initial cap of 10 000 ETH is a little over half the ETH side, and the 30 000 ETH the specification raises to is more than all of it.
So, two closed questions the specification can answer in a line each:
- Which contract is the oracle, and over what EMA window?
- Is the raise to 30 000 ETH conditioned on a stated liquidity floor in that pool, or on time?
