# Advanced Concepts

## Getting a Fresh Price

Since the Frax protocol only updates Frax Oracle prices once per day, the price may be up to 23 hours and 59 minutes old. If you need a fresher price, you can call addRoundData() on the Dual Oracle to write a fresh price, and then call latestRoundData() / getRoundData() / getPrice() on the Frax Oracle to retrieve the fresh price.

## Timelock Configuration

Controls all configurations for all Frax Oracles on L1: [`0x8412ebf45bAC1B340BbE8F318b928C466c4E39CA`](https://etherscan.io/address/0x8412ebf45bac1b340bbe8f318b928c466c4e39ca)

Controls all configurations for all Frax Oracles on Arbitrum: [`0xB426B13372B7c967C4a2371B5e95FC7dc37545Db`](https://arbiscan.io/address/0xb426b13372b7c967c4a2371b5e95fc7dc37545db)

## Attacks and Mitigations

Oracle manipulation attacks are handled economically. There is too much protocol owned liquidity for manipulating the Curve / Uniswap pools to be profitable.\
\
Bounding prices ensures that frxEth/sfrxEth will never be overvalued and will never be undervalued by more than 30%. frxEth is fully backed with ETH in validators, so the only risk that exists with it is time duration risk.
