Oracle failures? They're protocol killers. Seen it happen too many times—one bad price feed, entire platform goes down in hours.
Smart protocols don't play that game anymore. Take the approach of building redundancy into the system: cross-check pricing data across several independent feeds instead of betting everything on one source.
Single oracle dependency = single point of failure. And guess what hackers target first? Exactly that weak spot.

The issue of single point failure in oracle has long needed attention.

Really, I've gotten tired of this oracle single point of failure issue, it's always the same trap.

Indeed, a single point oracle is a ticking time bomb, it will explode sooner or later.

Nah, this is why I always say that multi-chain and multi-source are the most critical; a single source is truly a suicidal design.

The multi-chain redundancy trap should have been a standard configuration for the entire industry long ago; only after the lessons from hackers did we wake up.
