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.
The 30,765 ETH is a sliver of Aave TVL but the precedent is the story: a DAO-level vote becomes the legal bridge between DeFi custody and a US terrorism judgment.
A long-dormant wallet tied to a defunct 2016 ICO just drained 1,003 ETH through a contract flaw in its own code — the ICO that never shipped now pays out to whoever wakes it up first.
