Price Oracle

Throughout the Aave Protocol, we require reliable, up to date, and secure price feeds. Our proxy price provider contract provides this capability and works by:
Aave Market
Uniswap Market
Aave Market
First checking for a price from a Chainlink aggregator.
If the price is below or equal to zero, we call our fallback price oracle.​
The fallback price oracle is currently maintained by the Aave team.
In the future, Aave governance mechanisms will manage the selection of sources and the fallback price oracle.
The source code of the proxy price provider contract is available on Github.
Uniswap Market
Checking for a price from our Uniswap price aggregator.
In the future, Aave governance mechanisms will manage the selection of sources and the fallback price oracle.
The source code of the Uniswap price aggregator contract is available on Github.
Web3 code samples exclude the imports and transaction related parts to focus on methods interactions. 
If you need development support,  join the #developers channel on our Aave community Discord server.
Always get the latest price oracle address by calling getPriceOracle() on the LendingPoolAddressProvider contract.
