Reservoir released a new price oracle model
The Reservoir oracle aggregates the bid-ask midpoint (BAM) time-weighted average price (TWAP) of a collection using real-time bid and ask data sourced by Reservoir.
By taking the TWAP of a collection's bid/ask midpoint for any NFT collection, the price becomes less susceptible to manipulation and more accurate compared to using only the latest sale price. The Reservoir oracle was built by Jason Maier and the Hook Protocol team.
With expansions to new chains such as Polygon, Avalanche, and others, Reservoir has become a standard for NFT infrastructure.
Introducing Unlockd
Unlockd is an NFT lending/borrowing protocol that utilizes a peer-to-pool model. To determine the floor price of one collection, Unlockd uses an appraisal model that incorporates third-party tools such as Upshot, NFT BANK, and Nabu, which use an algorithmic pricing model. The model is then combined with Unlockd's dynamic loan-to-value ratio to determine the final amount that can be borrowed.
In addition, Unlockd's liquidation process uses an in-house Dutch auction process and external liquidation pools to limit bad debt for the protocol. To learn more about Unlockd, you can follow this link: https://docs.unlockd.finance

Since pausing operations, the team has successfully returned all user funds without any capital losses. Additionally, unrealized profits for traders will be fully compensated through a distribution of $vNFTP tokens at a discounted price of $0.053.
