The Yield protocol suffered significant losses in a Vault swap operation, totaling approximately $3.73 million. The incident occurred during the exchange from stkGHO to USDC — due to extreme market slippage, 3.84 million GHO tokens were only exchanged for 112,000 USDC. This transaction exposed issues with current market depth and also serves as a reminder for users to exercise extra caution during large liquidity operations. For investors participating in DeFi, this is a noteworthy case that highlights the vulnerability of a single liquidity pool when handling large transactions.

Remember, every market drama is teaching us how to live. The cost of 3.73 million is still a cheap lesson... The opportunity for rebirth is right in front of us. --- Once again, this kind of bloody lesson. Large liquidity operations are truly invisible knives. I'm restoring my mindset... --- Slippage is like an invisible hand reaching into your pocket. Opportunities and risks in the bottom range have always been twin brothers. --- To be honest, this wave of Yield reminded me why diversification is necessary. You can't go all-in on a single pool. That's the wisdom gained from bloodshed. --- Trading 384,000 GHO for 112,000 USDC? Wow, how serious must the market depth problem be... But great opportunities often hide in such extreme situations. --- Having gone through so many rounds, I can now laugh at these things. It takes this kind of resolve to traverse cycles. --- Faith is still there, and opportunities are right in front of us. DeFi is like that—today's pit might be tomorrow's starting point.

3.84 million coins only exchanged for 112,000? This slippage... outrageous, that's why I never put a large amount in a single pool --- Another textbook-level negative example from a project team, the risks of DeFi are no joke --- 3.73 million just gone like that, luckily I had already learned to diversify my operations --- This incident fully confirms what I said before—insufficient liquidity depth is truly a ticking time bomb --- Yield this round was disastrous... no wonder everyone is starting to use cross-chain arbitrage

Bro, how outrageous is this slippage? 3.84 million coins for 112,000. This isn’t trading, it’s giving away money. --- Once again, it's the lack of liquidity causing trouble. I’ve already said not to play big in a single pool, but some people just don’t learn. --- 373 million just gone? Damn, what size order would cause such severe slippage? --- Yield really had a crash this time. Is this lesson worth 3.73 million? Anyway, I’ve learned my lesson. --- Look at how others are making such big moves in small pools. Isn’t this just courting death? --- It seems like someone in the crypto world pays tuition every week. This week, it’s Yield’s turn. --- If stkGHO to USDC can slip like this, liquidity issues really need to be taken seriously. Everyone, take note. --- No way, this is too tragic. 3.84 million shrank directly to 110,000. Leverage traders would be heartbroken hearing this. --- Dealing with large amounts in a single liquidity pool is a trap. When will DeFi solve this problem? --- Another bloody case. I have to double-check multiple times before big operations. It scares me.

3.84 million tokens for 112,000? This slippage is incredible, it's just ridiculous --- How dare Yield do this move? Liquidity is so poor, yet they still insist on swapping --- Another DeFi big mistake scene, lacking depth but still forcing the swap, no wonder they lost --- 3.73 million just disappeared... Looks like multi-chain diversification is necessary, single pools are too fragile --- GHO token itself has many issues, and this time it just爆雷 --- I just want to know who approved this transaction. Didn't they do any price prediction? --- That's why I only trade in mainstream trading pairs. Small tokens usually have poor depth and are traps --- Vault swap failure, a textbook-level failure case

Tsk tsk, 3.84 million GHO only exchanged for 112,000 USDC? This slippage could choke someone to death --- Once again, insufficient liquidity causing trouble. It seems large-scale operations really require more caution --- 3.73 million USD just evaporated, it hurts to watch --- A single pool is so fragile, how can anyone still dare to operate so aggressively --- There are quite a few issues with the GHO token, liquidity depth is really concerning --- Oh my, is this the current state of DeFi? It's so easy to get cut like a leek --- What do people say about the Yield protocol now? They wouldn't just run away, right? --- This money is a total loss, who’s to blame... Still, it’s because I didn’t think things through --- Why do you have to operate so aggressively in one pool? Is diversifying risk really that difficult

38.4 million coins smashed into 112,000, this is what is called liquidity depth. Market sentiment turns around in an instant, like a mirage. --- The fragility of DeFi has always been there, it's just that some choose not to see it. This time, it's a lesson learned. --- The true survival rule is, don't rely on the pool to save you. In the face of cycles, liquidity is just an illusion. --- 3.73 million disappeared in slippage... right here, using money to verify how brutal market sentiment can be. --- Handling large amounts with a single pool? Ha, isn't that just stepping on a landmine? Forget what history has taught us. --- Look, this is the opposite of the bottom logic. Some are still betting on depth, but in the end, depth bet on them. --- With GHO's fall, I realize that cycles are truly ruthless. Sometimes, value reversion happens so suddenly. --- The sound of the bubble bursting is getting closer. Still don't believe it?
