Monad Co-Founder Suggests Dynamic Caps on Collateral Deposits to Mitigate Hacking Risks

Gate News message, April 19 — Keone Hon, co-founder of Monad, recommends that pooled lending protocols implement rate limits on collateral asset supply increases rather than opening supply to maximum capacity immediately. For example, when current supply is 100 million and the cap is 300 million, the protocol should only allow supply to increase to 110 million within the next 10 minutes. This approach would limit the exit paths available during hacking attacks, particularly those exploiting unlimited minting vulnerabilities.

Hon argues that lending protocols are typically the largest exit channels for assets, and implementing “smart caps” that start slightly above current supply and gradually adjust toward the true cap over hours could significantly improve risk control. He notes this measure could have prevented rsETH depositors from suffering approximately $200 million in losses today.
