When that boundary goes stale, the consequences range from mispriced positions to protocol-wide insolvency. Here is how freshness works and why it matters.Fri, 22 May 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://alterscope.org/insights/reading-dependency-and-contagion-risk-across-defi/https://alterscope.org/insights/reading-dependency-and-contagion-risk-across-defi/DeFi protocols are not isolated. They share collateral, liquidity, and oracle feeds in ways that make a problem in one market a potential problem in several. Understanding how contagion travels requires mapping the dependency graph, not just reading individual protocol metrics.Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://alterscope.org/insights/risk-data-for-ai-agents-an-agentic-first-api/https://alterscope.org/insights/risk-data-for-ai-agents-an-agentic-first-api/AI agents operating on-chain need risk data that is machine-readable, structured, and delivered at sub-second latency. Most existing data APIs were built for dashboards, not agents. Here is what the difference looks like in practice.Fri, 08 May 2026 00:00:00
