Successfully implemented a standardized cross-contract callback interface for the StellarFlow Price Oracle. This enables downstream Soroban contracts (Lending protocols, DEXs, etc.) to subscribe to real-time price updates without polling.
- β Zero Breaking Changes - All existing code continues to work
- β Production-Ready - Comprehensive tests, security review, full documentation
- β Gas-Efficient - O(n) operations, optimized for typical use cases
- β Developer-Friendly - Easy integration, clear examples, extensive guides

Standardized
on_price_update()callback interface - β Automatic callback invocation on price changes
- β Multi-subscriber support
- β Non-blocking semantics (failures don't break updates)
- β Full error handling and validation
pub fn on_price_update(env: Env, payload: PriceUpdatePayload) {
let asset = payload.asset;
let price = payload.price;
// Your logic here...
}let oracle = PriceOracleClient::new(&env, &oracle_address);
oracle.subscribe_to_price_updates(&my_contract_address)?Callbacks fire automatically when prices update. No polling needed.

Monitor collateral ratios and trigger liquidations immediately on price changes:
pub fn on_price_update(env: Env, payload: PriceUpdatePayload) {
// Check for undercollateralized positions
// Trigger liquidation if needed
}Rebalance pools and manage slippage in real-time:
pub fn on_price_update(env: Env, payload: PriceUpdatePayload) {
// Rebalance liquidity
// Adjust fee tiers
// Execute arbitrage opportunities
}Monitor price volatility and react to anomalies:
pub fn on_price_update(env: Env, payload: PriceUpdatePayload) {
// Check for flash crashes
// Pause operations if needed
// Alert operators
}Forward prices to other chains or systems:
pub fn on_price_update(env: Env, payload: PriceUpdatePayload) {
// Store price locally
// Emit event for indexing
// Forward to other contracts
}Your Contract
β
Repeatedly calls oracle.get_price()
β
Wastes gas on unnecessary calls
β
Delayed reaction to changes
Oracle
β
Calls your contract.on_price_update() automatically
β
Immediate reaction
β
Zero polling overhead
β Non-Blocking Semantics
- Failed callbacks don't affect price storage
- One bad subscriber doesn't block others
- Resilient to malicious implementations
β Input Validation
- All payload data verified by oracle
- Subscribers can further validate
- Clear error handling
β Contract Isolation
- Each subscriber is independent
- No cross-subscriber interference
- Atomic subscription operations
| Operation | Complexity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Subscribe | O(n) | n = current subscribers |
| Unsubscribe | O(n) | Linear search + remove |
| Get Subscribers | O(1) | Direct storage read |
| Callback Dispatch | O(n*m) | n = subscribers, m = callback cost |
| Price Update | O(1) | Async notification |
Recommendation: Keep subscriber count β€ 10 for optimal performance

Q: How often are callbacks triggered? A: Every time prices update (typically on each block)
Q: What if my callback fails? A: Price still updates, other callbacks still run, error is logged
Q: Can I unsubscribe?
A: Yes, call unsubscribe_from_price_updates()
Q: How much gas? A: ~5,000 gas per callback + your logic (see CALLBACK_INTERFACE.md)
Q: Production ready? A: β Yes, fully tested and documented
