On-chain lending and borrowing — borrow rates, liquidations, governance, and collateralized debt activity.
A near-unanimous DAO vote to free exploit-frozen ether now collides with a Manhattan court fight — the eight-day Constitutional AIP delay may be the only window that decides who gets the funds.
The DAO vote was near-unanimous, but a May 1 federal order tied to North Korea-related judgments freezes the path to DeFi United, leaving Aave's $190M bad debt in legal limbo.
The lending giant is folding cybersecurity, interoperability, and architecture into its listing criteria — and publishing a minimum-standards playbook the rest of DeFi will be measured against.
For a decade, DeFi audited code. Mythos maps how small weaknesses in keys, bridges and oracles chain into systemic failures — and both attackers and defenders are already moving.
A joint proposal from Aave, Kelp, and LayerZero is asking the Arbitrum DAO to release $71 million in frozen ETH as part…
Aave has proposed contributing 25,000 ETH to DeFi United, a collective effort to plug the hole left by the Kelp DAO…
Mantle has put forward a proposal to lend up to 30,000 ETH to Aave, positioning the move as a direct response to bad…
Aave V3 USDC borrowing costs ran from spike to fix to normalization in days — independently of where bitcoin trades — and that decoupling is the more useful read for institutional allocators watching…
The reframing aims to give attackers legal title to the frozen ether under a 19th-century fraud doctrine — the move that lets victims reach the funds at all, before a May 6 Manhattan hearing.
April was likely the worst month for DeFi hacks on record — a $295M Drift exploit and a similar-sized KelpDAO hit landed while State Street told Consensus Miami the rails aren't ready for…
Griff Green argues the real risk on Aave isn't smart-contract bugs — it's operational: leaked keys and social engineering from state-aligned attackers that lending markets haven't priced in.
A $3.8M seed pool and tokenized loss claims try to bridge a $295.4M gap — but relaunch as a security-first venue is the bigger industry test after Aave's Kelp DAO rescue.
The motion tests whether governance-frozen recovery assets become attachable property the moment a sanctioned-state attribution is alleged — a precedent every DeFi protocol with emergency powers…
The fight is over 30,765 ETH frozen after the April rsETH exploit on Arbitrum, and a ruling against Aave could let decades-old North Korea judgments reach any future recovered hack funds.
Contracts held, bridge didn't: WETH utilization hit 100% in 90 minutes, a seven-hour head start the Protocol Guardian's freeze couldn't recover.
The legal theory is binary: either the recovered ether belongs to Aave's users, or it belongs to North Korea — and Aave argues attribution to Lazarus Group is unproven, with $327M in industry…
Curve Finance's founder has put forward a market-based mechanism to resolve approximately $700,000 in bad debt sitting…
