### Oracles
- Currently experimenting with the Scuttlebutt state and testing other redundant oracle monitoring measures to deploy.
- LP oracles update: no major issues found!
- Will need to make a few minor patches, but this should clear the oracle hurdle for LP vault Debt Ceilings.
- Still need to make a plan for liquidations, as there have been problems with low participation in collateral auctions so far.
- Looking into adding Curve LP tokens as well!
- Oracle sensitivity has been lowered on less utilized collateral types to save money on Oracle spending.
