Following a $290 million exploit of the KelpDAO rsETH bridge in April, Aave founder Stani Kulechov announced a new risk framework for the protocol. This framework introduces four key layers: Asset Risk, Bridging Risk, Automated Risk Oracles and Monitoring, and Chain Risk, aimed at improving how Aave evaluates and controls risks across its platform. The new guidelines will apply to all assets and markets on Aave V3, V4, and Aave Horizon, with non-compliant assets set for removal. This move is designed to prevent future exploits and strengthen security after the significant loss and subsequent impact on Aave’s price and total value locked (TVL).
