Recently, a major liquidity protocol suddenly faced security concerns, with users on Twitter claiming to have discovered a critical vulnerability and even demanding substantial ransom. As the news spread, widespread FUD and panic ensued, with many users rushing to repay debts and withdraw funds.
But thinking calmly about it, this playbook feels all too familiar—every security incident triggers a wave of panic selling. The question is: how do we strike a balance between "rational assessment" and "blind panic"?
**First, examine the protocol's defense level**
This protocol has set a $1 million incentive on top-tier bug bounty platforms globally, with white-hat hackers worldwide helping to find bugs. The core contracts have been endorsed by top-tier audit firms like PeckShield and Veridise. Following the Ankr incident, the protocol rebuilt its risk control model, adding stricter debt caps and multi-oracle verification.
These are visible defensive lines, not hot air.
**My response logic**
Step one: Don't believe Twitter rumors—go directly to official channels and bug bounty program announcements to see if vulnerabilities have been formally confirmed.
Step two: Quickly assess your own position health. Ensure your debt ratio won't face liquidation during panic-driven price crashes—that's the real risk.
Step three: As long as the protocol continues operating normally and officials haven't confirmed vulnerabilities, I won't be emotionally hijacked into exiting at low prices.
**Bottom line**
Trust doesn't come from zero risk—which simply doesn't exist in DeFi—but from your rational judgment of the protocol's defensive infrastructure. Both panic and complacency are enemies of trading.
