An AMM exploit involves a security breach or malicious attack against an Automated Market Maker protocol. This type of exploit typically targets vulnerabilities in the smart contract code, pricing algorithms, or economic design of a decentralized exchange’s liquidity pools. Attackers may manipulate asset prices, drain liquidity, or execute arbitrage strategies that unfairly profit from protocol weaknesses. Such incidents result in financial losses for liquidity providers and damage trust in the affected platform.
