Venus Core is adding a new layer of protection against price manipulation live today๐ก๏ธ๐งต
๐ 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.
โ ๏ธ 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 ๐ซ
โก Liquidations are NOT affected.
They continue using real-time market pricing, keeping liquidation incentives and execution intact.
๐๏ธ 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.
โ Under normal conditions, nothing changes.
Same capital efficiency. Protection activates only when specific risk thresholds are triggered.
๐ตPart of Venus's ongoing work to strengthen protocol risk controls, especially for longer-tail assets where manipulation risk is higher.
