Aave plans to shut down its operations on six blockchains—Sonic, Scroll, zkSync, Metis, Soneium, and Aptos—due to low usage and revenue, impacting about $98 million in deposits. These chains generate less than $5,000 in quarterly revenue each, far below maintenance costs. The move aims to reduce costs and risks by freezing new activity and making borrowing expensive to encourage users to exit voluntarily. This follows Aave's broader strategy to focus on more profitable markets and improve financial sustainability.
