> "Introducing aWETH Redemption Protocol

With ETH utilization at 100% on Aave, many lenders are currently unable to withdraw and face increasing risk if markets move.

aWETH Redemption Protocol allows ETH lenders to:

> "Users can now swap their ETH positions on Aave into wstETH or weETH

This will protect Aave, its users, and DeFi from the potentially much more severe damage. 

TLDR how it works

Fluid is the biggest user on Aave where we hold $1.5B in ETH debt

We buy aWETH from users and sell"

user collateral (and debt) stays on Aave

it just switches collateral from ETH to wstETH or weETH

from one that’s frozen into one that’s not so user can unwind etc.

and yes, there’s dex’s where you swap but this is cheaper"

- Lender gets an exit route (can withdraw wstETH from Aave)
- Fluid Lite can unwind their leveraged LST/ETH position on Aave by repaying ETH debt with aWETH

Kudos to 
@riksucks
 for resurfacing the good old repayWithATokens() function"
