A Token Pair Exploit refers to a security vulnerability or attack vector that specifically targets the interaction between two different digital tokens within a decentralized exchange or lending protocol. This type of exploit often leverages discrepancies in how the protocol handles the valuation, transfer, or accounting of the two assets, leading to unauthorized fund extraction or manipulation. It relies on the specific logic governing the pair’s relationship.
