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 and the print is fresh, the external price equals the oracle price.
  • When the print goes stale or the market closes, the external price stays fixed at the last external print while the oracle first holds, then advances under bounded discovery.
  • On public holidays, both the external price and the oracle hold flat at the last active-session value.
The external price is the anchor that bounded discovery references during closures. On reopen, the external price updates to the live assessment print and the oracle returns immediately to it.
