During Trove Beta, these weights will be actively tested and tuned as market depth improves.\
For example, as trading volume increases and continuous price formation occurs, Mark and EMA may exceed 33%, while Validator weight decreases proportionally.

This evolution allows the oracle to adapt naturally as the market becomes more liquid.

#### Oracle revolution

Trove’s oracle evolves as the platform matures, transitioning from external reliance to internal leadership.

This lifecycle ensures Trove doesn’t dictate price prematurely — it earns trust through transparency and liquidity. The oracle evolves from being an observer of markets to becoming their reference standard.
