Chaos Labs, a major risk manager for DeFi protocol Aave, is exiting due to disagreements over Aave's V4 upgrade and risk management approach. The V4 upgrade introduces a complex new architecture expanding risk responsibilities, which Chaos Labs says lacks sufficient resources and sustainable economics despite a $5 million budget proposal. This departure follows exits of other key contributors, raising concerns about Aave's risk management and operational stability as it grows beyond $26 billion in total value locked. The exit leaves uncertainty about how Aave will manage risk in its next phase of development.
