# Meta Oracle

The Meta Oracle provides the On-Chain Spot Prices, Fair Market Values (FMVs) and Liquidity and Time Weighted Average Prices (LTWAPs) of underlying assets. The prices returned by the Meta Oracle are used for settling options as well as for pricing contracts.

The Meta Oracle is a smart contract that works by observing and storing snapshots of liquidity pools. It is capable of deriving Spot Prices, FMVs, Settlement Prices and various other types of Aggregated Prices depending on the use-case.
