Bounded Loss Security is a risk management strategy applied in decentralized finance and blockchain systems where potential financial losses are capped at a predetermined maximum. This security model aims to limit the exposure of users or protocols to adverse events, such as smart contract vulnerabilities or market volatility. It typically involves mechanisms like collateralization, insurance pools, or predefined liquidation thresholds. The objective is to provide a quantifiable ceiling for financial risk.

Current developments focus on designing robust protocols and financial instruments that effectively implement loss limitations. This approach is viewed as crucial for enhancing the overall stability and safety of digital asset ecosystems.
