🥷 Andre Cronje’s Flying Tulip introduces a TradFi-style circuit breaker to DeFi lending, utilizing a programmatic module to rate-limit outflows. In cases of abnormal withdrawals, such as smart contract exploits, oracle failures, or large position unwinds, the system automatically slows capital outflows and features a fail-open mechanism to ensure funds are not locked during a system failure.
