The Morpho PAXG/USDC market, a tokenized gold trading platform by MorphoLabs, suffered a $230,000 loss in 2024 due to a misconfigured price oracle. The oracle, which used a Pyth feed, incorrectly priced gold at $2.6 trillion USD. This error was attributed to the market's Risk Curator, who improperly set up the pool's decimal places.

The incident underscores the significant risks posed by incorrect parameter settings in decentralized finance (DeFi) markets.
