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.

**Chainalysis Hexagate** and **Algebra Integral** have launched the **Safety Switch plugin** - a modular security framework that allows DEXes to pause specific liquidity pools during potential attacks. **Key Features:** - **Real-time threat detection** through Hexagate monitoring - **Selective pool pausing** without affecting user fund withdrawals - **Role-based access**: Guards can pause pools, Admins can resume operations - **Low gas overhead**: Only ~14k additional gas per transaction **How it works:** 1. Hexagate detects suspicious activity 2. Automatically pauses affected pools via Safety Switch 3. DEX teams investigate and reactivate when safe **Pool Status Options:** - ENABLED: Normal operations - DISABLED: All operations stopped - BURN_ONLY: Only liquidity withdrawals allowed The plugin operates through Integral's modular architecture using hook points to intercept transactions. It provides **separation of powers** where security vendors act as watchers while DEX teams retain ultimate control. **Benefits:** - Proactive threat response before exploits occur - Maintains decentralization while adding security - Users can always withdraw funds during pauses - Available to all DEXes using Algebra Integral without redeployment This represents a significant advancement in DeFi security, moving from reactive post-exploit responses to proactive threat prevention.
