Many people focus on the fluctuations of the coin price and the jumps on the trading panel, but what they should really be cautious about are the moments that seem the most stable.

When a DeFi protocol is going smoothly and users are not raising any questions, problems often accumulate slowly. The yields still look good, and everyone is using it comfortably, but the risks are silently seeping in—until a price signal is delayed, liquidity suddenly tightens, or oracle data experiences some lag, and "not bad" instantly turns into "very dangerous."

This is not an abrupt collapse, but the result of conditions that stop being tested. The most deadly risks are often hidden in the quietest places.

The quietest places are the most dangerous, really... Seeing those protocols living comfortably during those days makes me a bit anxious. Wake up to find the liquidity gone, and the moment the oracle stalls, I freeze completely. High yields are not wrong; the mistake is that no one asks why.

This is the most terrifying thunder, and there's no way to defend against it. It seems that stability is actually the most dangerous, really. --- It's the same old story, waiting for the next "oracle lag" story. --- Wake up, everyone. You should start worrying when you're comfortable. This is the truth. --- It's correct, but no one listens. Only after losing money do they realize. --- The quietest places hide the sharpest knives. That's how DeFi is. --- I just want to know how to detect these hidden dangers in advance. Does anyone have a way? --- The phrase "Risk infiltrates silently" really hits home; I've already fallen into a trap. --- So, no one truly understands what protocol they are using, right? --- Stability is the signal before a crash. Remember this.

that quiet accumulation phase always gets me... seen this movie before. the moment everyone stops questioning the APY is exactly when the oracle breaks. not financial advice but reading between the lines here—calm markets are where smart money sets traps for the rest of us

Really, the most frightening thing is that this seemingly peaceful situation is often just setting a trap for you. Stable returns are the most aggressive times; in the blink of an eye, liquidity is gone.

The most feared moment is when everything seems calm, and the risk is completely undetectable. The moment liquidity stalls, it's already too late. Really, the more stable it seems, the more cautious you need to be.
