# Flash Loan Protection

Illuminati DAO is secure against the flashloan types of attacks due to a simple yet absolutely effective **2-step minting and redemption mechanism**. When a user wants to mint or redeem a Synthetic Token, 2 transactions (2 steps) need to be performed:\
\
**2-step Minting**\
Minting Step 1 (tx#1): Mint Synthetic tokens\
Minting Step 2 (tx#2): Collect (claim) Synthetic tokens minted in Step 1

**2-step Redemption**\
Redemption Step 1 (tx#1): Redeem Synthetic tokens\
Redemption Step 2 (tx#2): Collect (claim) $WBNB and $WBNBX tokens.
