What exactly are flash loans, which often come up in security incident reports?
In many attacks, attackers use flash loans to borrow large amounts of funds and manipulate price feeds that rely only on the spot price of a single pool.
Key takeaway: When evaluating a protocol, take a look at where its prices come from. Those that rely only on the spot price of a single DEX pool are more vulnerable to flash-loan manipulation.
The lending protocol Aave, associated with $AAVE , offers flash loans. Currently 157.36.
Verify information through multiple sources before making a decision. Don’t just take one person’s word for it.
