Security & Audits
Oracles supply external price data to on-chain contracts. Oracle compromise is a common attack vector — diversified providers reduce single-point-of-failure risk.

Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
Minerva is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Optimism — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Chainlink); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices.
