·Historical incident record

Incident Overview

Compound's price feed error caused the liquidation of $90 million in assets. According to DeBank founder, the huge liquidation of Compound was caused by the dramatic fluctuations in the DAI price of the oracle information source Coinbase Pro. It is a typical oracle attack to manipulate the information source that the oracle relies on to perform short-term price manipulation to achieve misleading prices on the chain.
