Venus Protocol has integrated Atlas, a custom-built oracle infrastructure designed specifically for its lending operations. **Key Features:** - Deviation thresholds calibrated to liquidation mechanisms - Multi-source data aggregation for reliability - On-chain attestations for transparency - Built from the ground up for Venus's specific risk model Unlike generic oracle solutions, Atlas was engineered to match the precise requirements of Venus's lending protocol, ensuring more accurate price feeds and better risk management.

Venus Protocol has announced the launch of **Venus Prime V2**, introducing significant improvements to its rewards program. **Key Updates:** - Increased budget allocation for the Prime rewards system - Enhanced system architecture for better performance - Improvements designed to benefit both borrowers and suppliers The upgrade aims to provide more efficient liquidity access and improved earning opportunities for protocol participants. Full details are available in the official community post. Venus Prime is the protocol's rewards program that incentivizes long-term participation in the decentralized money market.

Venus Core has deployed a new security feature called **Dynamic Protection Mode** to prevent price manipulation attacks on its lending protocol. **How it works:** - When unusual price movements are detected, the protocol automatically switches to conservative pricing - Borrow power and debt calculations use cautious estimates from recent price history instead of potentially manipulated spot prices - This prevents attackers from artificially pumping low-liquidity assets to borrow more than allowed **Key details:** - Liquidations continue using real-time market pricing - A protection indicator appears in the UI when active (dashboard, market list, asset pages) - Under normal conditions, capital efficiency remains unchanged - Protection activates only when specific risk thresholds are triggered The feature specifically targets manipulation risks in longer-tail assets with lower liquidity, strengthening protocol risk controls without affecting day-to-day operations.
