Doesn't a circuit breaker imply human intervention? The point of DeFi is that you get some code running on a blockchain then release control. No central point of control. How this is going to work is beyond me. But without it a blockchain is just an expensive database.

A circuit breaker doesn't imply human intervention. U.S. regulations have three levels of a circuit breaker, which are set to halt trading when the S&P 500 Index drops 7%, 13%, and 20%. Circuit breakers for individual securities are triggered whether prices move up or down.
