@ai_9684xtpa This product mechanism doesn’t mean that. 'Single price source being manipulated' refers to first taking the median of all components, then capping the component prices outside the 3% range. Since the median remains the same, adding alpha doesn’t make a difference, and the final index value will still be the same. Plus, alpha is originally designed to index orders to PancakeSwap, so it’s inherently tied to PancakeSwap’s price fluctuations.
