ProWeek of April 13, 2026
DODO AMM TVL marginally higher at \$13.1M. The PMM algorithm continues to provide tighter spreads than xy=k AMMs but adoption is limited. The 2021 crowdpooling exploit (two incidents, ~\$3.8M total) remains the primary track record blemish; no new incidents since. Oracle dependency is the structural risk.
