Definition ∞ DeFi Economic Attacks are exploitations of vulnerabilities within decentralized finance protocols that target economic mechanisms rather than cryptographic weaknesses. These attacks often leverage protocol design flaws, such as oracle manipulation or flash loan arbitrage, to illicitly extract value or destabilize the system.
Context ∞ The ongoing threat of DeFi economic attacks remains a critical security concern for the decentralized finance sector, leading to continuous protocol audits, risk management discussions, and the development of more robust economic models. News frequently reports on these exploits, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures and improved protocol resilience.
