DeFi top-tier players are pooling funds for an emergency rescue of Aave
1. Background of the incident
Recently, the rsETH protocol fell victim to a hacker attack, leaving Aave with a massive gap of approximately $160 million in funds. If this gap isn’t filled, the platform risks a bad debt explosion, user assets could be in jeopardy, and the entire DeFi space would face panic selling.
2. Industry solidarity for rescue
To stabilize the situation, key players in the space launched a 'DeFi United' joint rescue initiative, where major institutions and big names came together to raise funds.
So far, they have raised a total of 132,000 ETH, equivalent to over $300 million, which comfortably covers the $160 million loss, completely filling the hole.
3. Two heavyweight figures step up to support
Joseph Lubin, founder of Consensys, a core player in the Ethereum ecosystem, made a significant contribution by directly putting in 30,000 ETH, making him one of the top contributors in this rescue; stablecoin giant Circle also entered the fray, buying AAVE tokens to support the coin’s price and stabilize market sentiment, preventing panic selling.
What initially threatened to shake the entire DeFi landscape turned into a collective lifeline from industry leaders, with top-tier capital providing a safety net. With enough funds, strong backing, and risks mitigated, Aave has managed to pull through this precarious situation.
