Cost of Manipulation in AMM-Based Oracles: closed-form attack formulas
Researchers derived closed-form formulas for the cost of manipulating decentralized exchange (AMM) price oracles. Shows how constant-product market makers' design makes them vulnerable to flash loan attacks.
WHY IT MATTERS
Banks and stablecoin issuers relying on AMM oracles for collateral valuation now have quantified attack costs; informs risk models and required backstop capital for oracle failure scenarios.
