How pools work
Price providers
Each pool names the source its maker uses to price quotes.
- HyperCore orderbook — Elysium can read Hyperliquid's orderbook directly from a contract after the HyperCore upgrade, expected about four weeks after the 9 Nov 2026 mainnet.
- Hyperliquid API — used at launch by Stoa's own maker until the upgrade is live.
- Oracle feeds — for assets with a trusted on-chain feed.
- A maker's own model — for curators running custom strategies.
Makers choose their own source. Each pool can also turn on a quote guard that checks every quote against an independent price, and the guard can be swapped (for example to the HyperCore precompile) without redeploying the pool.
