What are Rate Limits?&#x20;

Rate limiting is a protective mechanism commonly used in DeFi protocols (e.g., Echelon, Hyperion) to safeguard users' funds in the event of an exploit. Without Rate Limits, if an attacker finds a vulnerability, unrestricted withdrawals could drain liquidity before the protocol can respond. Rate limits are a protective measure against this risk.&#x20;

Key notes:&#x20;

* Moar enforces global rate limits that apply to both Lending and Credit Accounts.
* In practice, most users will never notice rate limits unless trying to move unusually large amounts in a short timeframe.
* Limits are not user-specific but apply across the protocol as a whole.
* Thresholds may be adjusted based on TVL & usage.&#x20;
