Investigate Market Manipulation Risk in ZRX and Other Tokens

We have published recommendations here.

An oracle manipulation-based attack analogous to the one that cost Mango Markets $117m is much less likely to occur on Compound due to collateral assets having much deeper liquidity than MNGO and Compound requiring loans to be over-collateralized. However, out of an abundance of caution, we propose pausing supply for the above assets, given their relative liquidity profiles.

Importantly, this will be a step towards incentivizing migration from Compound V2 to Compound V3, which the community has voiced support for. Compound V3 has meaningfully more risk controls, including supply caps.
