# Abusing ZOLBO

ZOLBO is designed to handle a variety of potential abuse scenarios. Below, each abuse case is briefly introduced, and a table provides detailed information on how ZOLBO mitigates these risks.

***

### **API Key Misuse**

ZOLBO monitors the permissions granted through API keys to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.

<table><thead><tr><th width="146">Aspect</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Description</td><td>Users may set excessive API key permissions (e.g., withdrawal rights) that allow unauthorized access or manipulation of their accounts.</td></tr><tr><td>Mitigation Strategy</td><td>ZOLBO automatically checks API permissions, disabling operations until unnecessary permissions are adjusted. Users can review and modify permissions at any time​.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### **Bulk Purchase and Resell Arbitrage**

ZOLBO allows users to engage in bulk purchasing and reselling of ZLB tokens, a practice that benefits smaller buyers and maximizes ZOLBO’s revenue.

<table><thead><tr><th width="134">Aspect</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Description</td><td>Users might exploit bulk purchase discounts to resell ZLB tokens at a lower price, potentially manipulating the market.</td></tr><tr><td>Mitigation Strategy</td><td>ZOLBO encourages this practice, as it benefits smaller buyers and maximizes revenue by utilizing price discrimination strategies, similar to coupons​.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### **Manipulation of Governance Voting**

Large stakers might attempt to gain excessive control over governance decisions.

<table><thead><tr><th width="143">Aspect</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Description</td><td>A user could stake a large number of ALC tokens to disproportionately influence governance decisions for personal gain.</td></tr><tr><td>Mitigation Strategy</td><td>Governance voting power is determined by both the number of ALC tokens staked and the duration of the staking. The ZOLBO team maintains a guaranteed 30% voting power​​.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### **Overloading the System with Frequent Small Transactions**

To prevent system overloading, ZOLBO limits frequent toggling of the ON/OFF button.

<table><thead><tr><th width="135">Aspect</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Description</td><td>Users may frequently toggle the ON/OFF button, straining the system by making frequent position changes.</td></tr><tr><td>Mitigation Strategy</td><td>The OFF button has two options (immediate position sale within 15 minutes and 24-hour sale). Beyond three free OFF operations per day, a fee of 5 ZLB applies​.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### **Interference with Automated Trading by Manual Action**

Manual intervention through direct trades or withdrawals distorts ZOLBO's automated portfolio management.

<table><thead><tr><th width="140">Aspect</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Description</td><td>Users might manually place trades or withdraw funds from their exchange accounts, causing margin distortions and increasing risk. Depositing additional funds does not interfere.</td></tr><tr><td>Mitigation Strategy</td><td>ZOLBO discourages manual trading and direct withdrawals from accounts. A penalty fee is applied to disincentivize these actions, helping maintain optimal portfolio strategies​​.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### **Unauthorized Account Access**

To prevent unauthorized access, ZOLBO employs secure login procedures.

<table><thead><tr><th width="139">Aspect</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Description</td><td>Hackers may try to gain unauthorized access to user accounts through phishing or other methods.</td></tr><tr><td>Mitigation Strategy</td><td>ZOLBO uses Google login with email verification codes. Verification is required once every 24 hours, ensuring an additional layer of security​.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### **Data Privacy Exploits**

ZOLBO ensures that sensitive data, such as profit information, is securely stored.

<table><thead><tr><th width="135">Aspect</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Description</td><td>Personal data, such as users' profit information, could be exploited or accessed without proper protection.</td></tr><tr><td>Mitigation Strategy</td><td>ZOLBO stores user data in compliance with South Korea’s data protection laws. The platform uses encryption to secure sensitive data from unauthorized access​​.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### **Using Additional API Keys to Operate Multiple Accounts**

Using additional API keys to operate multiple accounts can lead to inefficient performance.

<table><thead><tr><th width="135">Aspect</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Description</td><td>Users may try to operate multiple accounts using separate API keys, bypassing ZOLBO’s optimization, which could result in inefficiency.</td></tr><tr><td>Mitigation Strategy</td><td>ZOLBO’s strategy is optimized for each account’s balance. Operating multiple accounts increases slippage costs and lowers the Sharpe ratio, making it inefficient​.</td></tr></tbody></table>
