Do DeFi Derivatives Platforms Utilize a Form of Circuit Breaker Mechanism?

Yes, many DeFi derivatives platforms utilize mechanisms that act as a form of circuit breaker, often implemented via the Oracle or the liquidation engine. For example, they may use Time-Weighted Average Prices (TWAPs) for liquidations, which prevents liquidation based on momentary spikes.

Some protocols also implement "slow-mode" mechanisms that delay transaction finality or temporarily pause contract execution during extreme volatility.
