Venus Core Launches Dynamic Protection Mode Against Price Manipulation
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.
