Liquidity Pool Draining

Definition

Liquidity Pool Draining refers to the rapid removal of assets from a decentralized exchange’s liquidity pool. This event can occur due to a large withdrawal by a liquidity provider, an exploit, or a market arbitrage opportunity. When a pool is drained, it significantly reduces the available capital for trading pairs, leading to increased price slippage and potential market instability. It poses a risk to the efficiency and security of decentralized trading.
