| # Interval is the time between each price update request. The recommended interval | ||
| # is the block time of the chain. Otherwise, 1.5 seconds (1500ms) is a good default. If this | ||

| interval = "1500ms" |

The default should reflect our recommendation of $blocktime

true, I'll recommend 600ms since block times are slightly higher than that number nowadays.

We should add a note on security concerns, e.g. using 0.0.0.0 vs 127.0.0.1 permits external queries. That might be desired for convenience but I think our recommendations should lean towards security.

true, adding such a note

| Starting in `v5.0.0`, running a validating full node requires a Skip Protocol's Connect Sidecar to be run in order to fetch Oracle prices. The sidecar should be started before upgrading from `v4` to `v5`. Instructions to start Connect Sidecar can be found [here](https://docs.skip.build/connect/validators/quickstart). | ||
| Starting in `v5.0.0`, running a validating full node requires the Slinky sidecar to be running in order to fetch Oracle prices. Slinky is a sidecar that pulls price data from external sources and caches them for the validator to use. |

We don't a note on v5.0.

This is the dYdX Chain Protocol version v5.0.0 - the dydxprotocold version when prices were moved from price daemon to Skip's sidecar
I can of course remove it, or reword it so that it's clearly referencing the corresponding dYdX Chain hard fork.

Or better yet - link the dYdX Protocol upgrade proposal that introduced Skip's sidecar

My thinking is: the wording Starting in v5.0.0 was there in docs.dydx.xyz before this change, why not build on top of it.
I can remove though, if there's something I'm missing
