The external price is a separate value included alongside the oracle and mark prices in relayer updates. It is the last externally derived assessment print from Scape’s reporter network.
  • When the underlying market is open, the external price equals the oracle price.
  • When it is closed, the external price stays fixed at the last external print while the oracle advances via its internal pricing mechanism.
The external price is the anchor that internal pricing references during closures. On reopen, the external price updates to the live assessment print and the oracle reverts to it.
