Updating wstETH price feed - Silo Arbitrum

Proposal Discussion
1

Introduction
The wrongful liquidation of five wstETH borrow positions on December 2nd was due to wstETH/ETH Chainlink price feed reporting exaggerated value for wstETH. It is believed that large trades for wstETH caused Chainlink’s volume-weighted oracle (VWAP) to report erroneous price for wstETH. We still don’t have accurate information about the cause, but a sandwich attack might have been the cause .

Proposal

  • Change wstETH price oracle
  • Silo address: 0xA8897b4552c075e884BDB8e7b704eB10DB29BF0D
  • Chain: Arbitrum
  • Current feed that needs to be replaced: Chainlink WSTETH / ETH 0xb523AE262D20A936BC152e6023996e46FDC2A95D
  • New price Feed: Chainlink stETH/ETH: 0xded2c52b75B24732e9107377B7Ba93eC1fFa4BAf and wstETH-stETH Exchange Rate: 0xB1552C5e96B312d0Bf8b554186F846C40614a540
    Reason: stETH price feed is considered more resilient given stETH deep liquidity cross-chain

If the proposal faces no objections, Silo’s development team will prepare the change and queue it for execution. We will share the executive proposal and execution transaction with the community.

Executed successfully: Deploying a new price provider (oracle) for wstETH on Arbitrum. The wstETH-ETH-USDC Arbitrum market now uses an oracle that calculates the value of wstETH using two Chainlink feeds: stETH/ETH and wstETH/stETH exchange rate.
