Recently, I saw a bunch of new L1/L2 projects pushing incentives to boost TVL, and I always react a half beat late... I only took a quick look at the "dig, take profits, and sell" discussions in the group, too lazy to chase the hype. But I'm more worried about another small issue: oracle price feed delays. Honestly, you think you're still safe, but the on-chain peg price is already a step behind, and the liquidation line is calculated based on that "old price/stuck price." When the market moves suddenly, you'll be treated as an over-risk early on, and there might even be cases where you see the market dropping but the on-chain data hasn't updated yet. When it finally updates, it could wipe you out in one shot.
My current workaround: before opening leverage, check the update frequency of the oracle price feed for this chain/this protocol. The more active, the easier it is to get congested. Keep your positions smaller, leave the liquidation price further away, and don't treat "it won't be that coincidental" as a strategy. Anyway, I already distrust bridges, and I definitely don't dare to gamble on the oracle feed.
