# Reserve Pool Safeguard The platform has a reserve-pool safeguard which prevents the pools and user’s funds from being drained in the rare black-swan event of a system-wide hack or exploit. With the safeguard in place, account holders that own a large portion of the TVL will not be able to instantaneously make large withdrawals of \~10% or more of the TVL at the time of withdrawing. To avoid the necessity of making large withdrawals over a longer period of time, contact [reservepool@apy.finance ](https://finance.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=364c817c91a8f54732894b7c6\&id=54e0c3bcba\&e=e0c0049e0b)prior to withdrawing to ensure these withdrawals don’t activate these safeguards. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
