A liquidity pool compromise is an event where funds in a decentralized exchange’s liquidity pool are stolen or made inaccessible. This refers to a security incident affecting a decentralized exchange’s liquidity pool, resulting in the unauthorized loss or freezing of deposited digital assets. This typically occurs due to vulnerabilities in the pool’s smart contract, manipulation of price oracles, or other forms of exploit. Such compromises cause significant financial harm to liquidity providers and diminish trust in the affected protocol.

These incidents often prompt calls for more rigorous smart contract audits and improved security practices across decentralized finance platforms. The ongoing challenge for decentralized finance is to build secure and resilient liquidity mechanisms against sophisticated attacks.
