Venus Core is adding a new layer of protection against price manipulation live today🛡️🧵
🔒 When unusual price movement is detected, the protocol automatically switches to conservative pricing.
Instead of relying on a potentially manipulated spot price, borrow power and debt valuation are calculated based on a cautious estimate derived from recent price history.
⚠️ Without this, an attacker could pump a low-liquidity asset, borrow far more than should be allowed, and leave the protocol with bad debt. Dynamic Protection Mode cuts off that attack vector at the source 🚫
⚡ Liquidations are NOT affected.
They continue using real-time market pricing, keeping liquidation incentives and execution intact.
👁️ You'll know when it's active.
A protection indicator appears next to the asset across the UI:
- Dashboard
- Market list
- Asset detail pages
Hover to see the protected prices being applied.
✅ Under normal conditions, nothing changes.
Same capital efficiency. Protection activates only when specific risk thresholds are triggered.
🔵Part of Venus's ongoing work to strengthen protocol risk controls, especially for longer-tail assets where manipulation risk is higher.
