What Are the Risks Associated with an IL Insurance Mechanism Failing?

If the IL insurance mechanism fails, LPs who relied on the compensation could suffer significant losses. Failure can occur if the insurance fund is depleted due to extreme market events, if the underlying smart contract is exploited, or if the governance mechanism votes to halt compensation.

This erodes LP trust and can lead to a mass withdrawal of liquidity.
