· 2026-04-22T10:40:29+00:00Friends, the problem in #AAVE affects a total of 4 coins along with itself, but if it turns into a DeFi insecurity issue, things will really spiral out of control. #ETH, #LIDO #EIGEN and #AAVE To make you understand it better, I'll try to simplify it even more. Now, an investor
· 2026-04-22T14:57:27+00:00Bybit had $7.7 Billion withdrawn after their exploit. AAVE KelpDAO LayerZero created $9 Billion in withdrawals. This isn’t retail; This is the cartel creating a smoke screen to reposition $9 Billion in $’s. That’s why $Punk and $Whale launched. That’s why BAYC’s floor is up,
· 2026-04-22T22:07:59+00:00Lots of people are dunking on the Circle proposal to shift Aave rates, and I have, inevitably, been asked my opinion. I’ll share it here publicly. Gordon’s proposal is not incorrect directionally. He correctly diagnoses that the market is not clearing, and provides a pretty
· 2026-04-22T22:29:41+00:00Circle’s proposed solution for the AAVE crisis is to hike interest rates and liquidate everyone. That will restore market balance according to their Chief Economist. Instead of providing emergency USDC liquidity, they want to farm retail some more. Someone fire these people.

We're talking about one of the most battle tested protocols on Ethereum, having withstood three bear markets since its launch as ETHLend. It hasn't been a straight line, but @Aave has just kept getting

Understand how loop unwinding works in defi:
· 2026-04-22T20:09:24+00:00odd usage of the term "no exposure" lmao nonetheless, good idea to collect aWETH for those not familiar, @aave allows borrowers to repay WETH borrows using aWETH via `repayWithATokens()` this helps etherfi to slowly delever their $1.3B debt position from the illiquid market.

Haven't seen ETH Gas this high in the past year; just now when I withdrew, I thought the shady exchange was giving me extra money. At its core, it's still the uncertainty
· 2026-04-22T14:51:41+00:00怎么说呢？如果说问我的话，我肯定也支持共克时艰。 但是我很诚实地讲，我最近在出差，没有随身携带冷钱包。 我在 Aave 里面还有很多钱，所以我被迫去了一个离我最近的一个备份私钥的地方，把冷钱包强行变成热钱包，把钱从 Aave 挪到了 Spark。 从 Aave
· 2026-04-22T10:08:25+00:00Are you stuck on Aave with positions that are impossible to withdraw? Here's the solution. Following the Kelp hack, several markets (WETH, USDC, USDT) are at 100% utilization, preventing withdrawals despite billions still deposited. @0xfluid has launched a solution that

· 2026-04-22T10:20:01+00:00Whales and top traders have been aggressively positioning in shorts on AAVE. Interestingly, retail investors are positioning against this sentiment. These large entities are doing everything they can to eliminate all retail hope in altcoins. Something big is about to happen...
· 2026-04-22T21:39:05+00:00Aave has changed a lot since the original design, namely the complexity of how interest rates are calculated on V3. I didn’t even know that there was an interest rate cap regardless of utilization now. Feels counterintuitive tbh. The only explanation for this is over-catering
· 2026-04-22T06:39:50+00:00"not directly affiliated" and "did not receive compensation" are narrowly true, but kelp was onboarded to aave (both ethereum and l2 networks) through proposals authored by kelp's angel investor.
· 2026-04-22T10:00:13+00:00It seems to me that @aave is not active enough on social media. There have been very few announcements about the hack and the subsequent steps being taken! The last update was posted nearly two days ago! What is actually going on right now? We, the users, are largely in the
· 2026-04-22T15:20:37+00:00With Aave markets now effectively frozen on rsETH exposure and liquidity evaporating, we’re seeing the textbook failure mode of open-ended variable-rate pools play out in real time. 1. Shared collateral pools socialize risk across unrelated positions — one compromised LST

· 2026-04-22T01:17:09+00:00Aave should be fine now. DeFi will slowly come back. It's just hard to imagine what would happen if this incident occurred when Boss Yi was still borrowing and leveraging to add positions in ETH on Aave... directly shorting it to the bottom, even bigger bad debts...
· 2026-04-22T10:38:02+00:00Fluid’s Aave position redemption solution has already processed over $400M in volume. With Aave markets stuck at 100% utilization, users are unable to withdraw despite billions still deposited. A few days ago, @0xfluid introduced a simple way out that benefits everyone. →

· 2026-04-22T07:52:07+00:00Lending markets are usually boring… until they aren't. The weekend chaos with rsETH (and the $200M+ bad debt hit Aave took) is a massive stress test for DeFi. It’s no surprise we’re seeing exchanges like OKX preemptively pulling back from those pools to protect users. But
· 2026-04-22T06:54:40+00:00During chaos like this is when you know the real protocols. The rsETH situation was one of those moments. We saw it all over the timeline and even OKX pulling AAVE USDT from their platform. This is not a knock on Aave; it’s still one of DeFi’s core pillars. But moments like

· 2026-04-22T14:21:18+00:00Crypto is a swamp, with fewer than ~100 legit teams. B/c of that, investing feels circular, with everyone in everything. Marc was a savage; extremely fierce in pushing the DAO forward and always Aave first. CT loves drama, but for anyone interested, it's all on the forums.

· 2026-04-22T07:42:21+00:00In invested in a lot of stuff and if you think a 20k$ angel check would influence what was back then a 8 figure position in AAVE is delusional. Reality is a support builders with small angel checks since nearly a decade. Also angel in etherfi, in stader and other minors in the
· 2026-04-22T02:48:12+00:00Aave unfroze WETH on Ethereum Core V3 on April 21. Opening exits before a loss-allocation plan is finalized creates a dynamic that is structurally disadvantageous to retail. Each withdrawal reduces the liquidity pool and enlarges each remaining supplier's pro-rata exposure to

· 2026-04-22T15:11:38+00:00Attention @aave users with ETH debt (LST loopers and shorters) - I have some interesting info to share with you. When you decide to unwind your position, you'd probably use a one-tx Repay tool like the one available on @DeFiSaver It works by using collateral from your position

· 2026-04-22T10:25:56+00:00Marc has dedicated large part of his career and life to Aave. To accuse him of clouded judgement because of an angel check is retarded. Lots of people I used to look up to have shown their true colors. Marc is one of the few genuine people in this space.

· 2026-04-22T12:08:23+00:00Aave中枪、Spark逆势吸金13亿美元。 rsETH跨链漏洞引爆链上危机，Aave3天半资金外逃151亿，而Spark TVL不降反增，ETH存款利率一度飙至130%，成为巨鲸资产转移的首选避风港。 Spark能接住这波泼天流量，关键在于3个月前那次被社区骂"过于保守"的决定——果断下架rsETH，宁可放弃TVL也不留隐患。

· 2026-04-22T22:21:46+00:00The largest position in Aave has $1.25B of $ETH debt How are they holding up? -22% net APY and at this rate losing $28m per year Not suggesting this whole situation will last a full year, but still goes to show how big the impact is.
· 2026-04-22T14:59:07+00:00Read $AAVE “hack” explained in simple terms @aave was not hacked. The real issue came from a $292M exploit on Kelp DAO’s rsETH bridge. Attackers created unbacked rsETH and used it as collateral on Aave to borrow real assets like ETH. This left Aave with around $200M bad
· 2026-04-22T14:41:11+00:00"Similar to how @aave became the main yield engine across the EVM ecosystem, @lightning could play the same role for the comeback of DeFi on Bitcoin. A healthier yield model, stripped of the complexity that led to constant exploits and eroded trust in DeFi."

· 2026-04-22T14:18:57+00:00Day 4 of waking up without AAVE, LayerZero and Kelp sorting out their shit: still no bailout, no clarity, huge of positions locked up at negative carry. Now I ask myself, even if rsETH was made whole, would the money come back to normalize the markets or is it too late?
· 2026-04-22T06:40:49+00:00Where did all the $AAVE liquidity just go? Aave's TVL just saw a sharp drawdown, while capital is clearly moving elsewhere following the KelpDao exploit. This isn’t random: it’s utilization + yield dynamics. After Aave hit 100% utilization (post KelpDAO stress), liquidity

· 2026-04-22T06:03:23+00:00每一次行业发展都是闯关，感谢Jocy出声。质押大户们其实也是知道有风险的，很多都会做空AAVE对冲，我就比较好奇，为啥出事后AAVE币价没跌？没能对冲风险呢？
· 2026-04-22T03:19:29+00:00$SPK has already surged ~40% since aave hit 100% utilization following the kelpdao hack. liquidity is now migrating from #aave to #spark, as it has become the go-to second choice for parking idle assets. if aave steps down, which protocol will take over lending dominance? rn,

· 2026-04-22T08:03:29+00:00I've been closely following the Kelp DAO hack incident these past few days, which has rippled over to AAVE and triggered bad debt risks. The involved protocols are bickering and passing the buck on compensation issues, leaving investors to potentially bear the full losses
· 2026-04-22T21:03:55+00:00AAVE did not fail by not in looking at liquidity, reserves, peg behavior, or market structure. The failure was that security assumptions were not fully translated into the collateral framework itself. If an asset depends on bridged backing, admin assumptions, concentrated
· 2026-04-22T05:46:51+00:00Even in the world of DeFi, Murphy’s Law applies - systems built on wrong assumptions or poor collaterals eventually fail. @aave users got another reminder that shared pools socialize risk and leave users holding the bag. We need intent-centric, atomic models instead.
