3/ @leptokurtic_ realizes that much of the protocol’s success and stability is contingent on the protocol's ability to understand and manage risk; therefore, @ethena_labs engaged @chaos_labs for a pre-launch genesis risk assessment.

9/ This isn’t to say that TWAPs are always wrong; context matters, and it depends on the use case. Understanding price-changing capital requirements allows you to quantify which type of liquidity and market shifts are dangerous for your protocol.

7/ The rest of the thread will address the most commonly echoed concerns thus far However, it’s important to understand what Ethena is before discussing risk. The tokenized strategy being employed by Ethena is extremely common in tradition finance; let’s explain 👇

2/ At Chaos Labs, our focus is rooted in blockchain protocol risk and security – an area we consider critical for DeFi adoption. Oracles, securing over $50 billion in value, are at the core of many protocols, forming an essential component of any protocol risk framework.

4/ In 2022, @chainalysis revealed that Oracle exploits caused over $400 million losses across more than 40 attacks. Getting Oracle security right is critical from a developer's perspective. When exploited, Oracle failures and manipulations are typically fatal.

8/ @chaos_labs denominates OI caps in USD. Otherwise, constant real-time monitoring is required. For reference, other perp DEXes have OI caps for @avax , a higher volume/market cap asset set at ~2.5m USD, so this was definitely not intended by the @synthetix_io team.

6/ @ethena_labs is an innovative protocol that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible for a CeFi/DeFi hybrid structured product. It’s highly complex, with risks involved; users are right to treat it skeptically and seek clarity before getting involved.

4/ The @chaos_labs assessment is thorough, culminating in over ~100 pages of research, and is split across 3 core pillars: - LST Market Risk, w/ @LidoFinance - Historical Perpetual Funding Rate Analysis - Onchain Stablecoin Liquidity Analysis

2/ @synthetix_io powers various perp markets. Asset listing and monitoring are critical - factors like liquidity, volatility, and holder distribution must be monitored to gauge manipulation feasibility. @chaos_labs automates observability w the Risk Portal.

8/ TWAP Manipulation is often framed from a security perspective - how much capital is required from an attacker to move TWAP price from x→y? This modeling still applies to outlier market events, causing violent price wicks.

8/ To begin with, it's worth discussing asset hedging strategies in general. Opposing positions in correlated instruments to reduce exposure to risks is the most common structure in finance. They have existed for decades are not a new crypto invention.

3/ Yesterday, $UNI pumped, causing the borrow's value to exceed the collateral's value, creating bad debt. Changes are typically observed quickly by oracles, and position health is updated accordingly for liquidations. However, V2's Oracle was slow to reflect the $UNI price.

2/ Let’s break down what happened. Several accounts deposited stables into V2 and borrowed $UNI against those collateral positions. In DeFi, borrow positions are overcollateralized, incentivizing borrowers to maintain positions' health.

6/ Securely integrating third-party APIs is vital to mission-critical applications in Web2. It prevents data breaches and upholds software reliability. High-trust, centralized strategies like SLAs ensure data integrity and compliance with standards.
