Algebra Launches Safety Switch Plugin for Real-Time DEX Security

Algebra Launches Safety Switch Plugin for Real-Time DEX Security

Following the recent **Balancer exploit**, Algebra emphasizes that DeFi security requires more than audited code - it needs real-time threat detection. Algebra has completed multiple security audits with top firms including: - Bail Security - Paladin Security - MixBytes - ABDK Consulting - Riley Holterhus **Safety Switch Plugin Features:** - Live security monitoring for all Integral-powered DEXes - Instant pool pausing capabilities when threats detected - Real-time threat detection and response - LP protection without requiring migrations **Key Integrations:** - Hypernative Labs for monitoring - Chainalysis for compliance - Hexagate for additional security layers The modular CLAMM (Concentrated Liquidity AMM) approach allows DEXes to add security features as plugins rather than rebuilding from scratch. This proactive security model represents a shift from reactive patching to **preventive protection** in DeFi protocols.
