# 6.3 Risk Mitigation: Volatility and De-pegging Protocols

Crypto markets are volatile, and stablecoins can de-peg. AbyssPay’s Risk Management Engine is designed to handle these events:

* Oracle Redundancy: Utilizing a mix of Chainlink, Pyth, and internal TWAP to prevent "Flash Loan" price manipulation.
* Emergency Pause: In the event of a catastrophic market failure or a major stablecoin de-peg, the DAO has the authority to pause new card issuance while existing settlements are finalized using the protocol’s liquidity buffer.
