Emergency Liquidity Withdrawal

Emergency liquidity withdrawal refers to a pre-defined path for users to reclaim their assets from a protocol during a catastrophic failure or when a contract is paused. This feature is critical for maintaining user confidence and preventing permanent loss of capital when a protocol faces a critical vulnerability.

By allowing users to exit their positions even when the main interface or standard functions are disabled, the protocol ensures a degree of self-custody and autonomy. Designing these paths requires ensuring that the withdrawal logic itself is secure and cannot be exploited by attackers to drain the remaining pool.

It is a final line of defense for user protection. Providing a secure exit path is a hallmark of responsible protocol architecture.
