The crypto market is like a wasteland, with every investor believing they hold a compass. Then Falcon had an incident — it’s not just the fall of a protocol, but a complete liquidation of the liquidity illusion.
Do you remember those days at the beginning of 2025? Red gap jumps flickered on the screen, like you were piloting an "Everlasting Supersonic Jet" that suddenly malfunctioned at ten thousand meters altitude.
At that time, Falcon was at its peak. It claimed to be the "perpetual motion machine" of the financial world — stacking liquidity layers of ETH and various Layer 2 networks through complex modular leverage designs, squeezing every bit of on-chain asset value with recursive staking. The story told to users was very appealing: no-recall enhanced returns, a sophisticated "credit magnifier."
But what brought it down wasn’t a hacker attack. The culprit was a rare "oracle feedback poisoning." Several large AI trading agents reacted in unison to BNB volatility with hedging responses in an extremely short period, triggering the logical closed loop of Falcon’s liquidation engine in that instant.
In the following 48 hours, the market revealed its fangs. Liquidity didn’t slowly vanish — it evaporated in an instant. That once-proud "cross-chain liquidity sharing" instantly turned into a conduit for disaster. Confirmation delays in cross-chain bridges under extreme market conditions directly spread the problem from a single chain to the entire ecosystem.

Once again, it's a shattered illusion. The recursive staking approach ultimately backfired.

Perpetual motion machine? Laugh out loud, it's just an advanced Ponzi scheme.

oracle feedback loop poisoning hits different when it's your bags on the line, ngl. falcon was just the canary—the real story's how every "solution" becomes the next systemic risk waiting to detonate

Perpetual motion machine? Haha, just listen and forget about it. The illusion of liquidity is shattered with a poke.

It's the oracle's fault again; AI trading agents will eventually cause casualties.
---
Cross-chain bridge delays directly blow up the ecosystem. Is this what they call a modular future? Laughable.
---
No drawdown? More like brainless. I've heard Falcon's rhetoric three years ago.
---
48 hours of evaporation, the compass instantly turns into a dial, the market has always been this brutal.
---
Recursive staking stacking layer upon layer... just risk wrapping, it's normal to collapse.
---
To those who believed in the "Precision Credit Microscope," has the mirror in your heart shattered yet?
---
Liquidity sharing turns into disaster transmission, so ironic that I can't even bother to comment.
---
Another star protocol falls, and I am not surprised at all, even a bit bored.

The moment AI trading agents collectively hedge risk is a signal flare of systemic risk.
