# Safety Features

To account for stablecoin depegging events,  Demex has these protocol safety measures.&#x20;

### Depeg Detector

As soon as the token's value (provided by Demex's on-chain [oracles](https://api.carbon.network/carbon/pricing/v1/token_price)) deviates from its declared peg (e.g. 1 USD for stablecoins like USDC), deposits for that particular constituent token will be automatically disabled.

Users depositing that constituent token will be credited in that token (instead of being auto-converted), preventing continuous arbitrage of a depegged token.&#x20;

### Rate Limiters

When an abnormally large amount of tokens is being withdrawn, withdrawals may be temporarily paused, allowing developers and validators to manually confirm that everything is in order.&#x20;
