After a $292 million exploit in April that drained rsETH via a single-verifier bridge, Aave is implementing a new four-layer risk framework across its platforms. Key changes include requiring at least three independent verifiers for any bridge route, banning weaker verifier setups, and launching a live bug bounty program with minimum payouts of $50,000. Automated risk oracles and Freeze Guardians will also be introduced to quickly freeze affected markets without manual intervention. These measures aim to prevent similar attacks, improve security, and may slow new asset listings due to stricter compliance requirements.
