What are Rate Limits?

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.

Key notes:

  • 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.
