3 min read · pre-launch
| Scenario | Injected | Required outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Flash print | +300% on one leg for one block | Median ignores it; clamp dampens any residue |
| Held manipulation | False price for 10 minutes | TWAP moves a third of the way; clamp holds the mark |
| Total skew | 100% of a pair's OI on one side | Full cap escrowed; zero vault shortfall |
| Cascade | Every long liquidated in sequence | Each closes at its own mark; escrow covers every short's cap |
| Keeper gone | No one pokes a pair for a day | The next trade pokes it; the clamp walks the mark to the pools |
| Run on the vault | Every vLIQ redeemed at once | Free USDG pays at the price; escrow stays reserved |
