Mainnet Migration Risk
Mainnet migration risk is the potential for financial loss or service disruption when moving operations to a new, live protocol version. This includes the risk of contract bugs, integration failures, or user error during the transition.
For derivative platforms, the greatest risk is the potential for liquidation errors or stuck collateral. Mitigating this requires rigorous auditing, phased rollouts, and clear user documentation.
The complexity of moving large amounts of value means that even minor errors can have systemic consequences.
