Aave: Launches rsETH Incident Compensation Tool, Focusing on Resolving rsETH Minting Issue and Restoring Market Functionality

2026.05.09 10:03:42

May 9 — Aave has unveiled the Phase Two update for its rsETH incident recovery plan. On April 28, Aave rolled out its V3 technical recovery solution for the rsETH hack, with progress now made on both Ethereum Mainnet and Arbitrum. On May 6, 8 Aave V3 positions linked to the attacker were successfully liquidated, and the recovered rsETH collateral was sent to the Recovery Guardian per the Aave Improvement Proposal (AIP). Other users — including Umbrella stakers — were unharmed. Plus, governance proposals from Mantle DAO and Arbitrum DAO have been greenlit. The latter signed off on returning $71 million worth of recovered ETH to Aave for the DeFi United joint recovery push. Legal wins are also in the books: a court order has cleared Arbitrum DAO to send frozen ETH to Aave LLC via on-chain voting, with the restraining order to be issued after the transfer. Aave LLC is now waiting for a final court ruling. As a stopgap, the team has borrowed extra funds to cover the shortfall — ensuring users aren’t hit by delays. The next phase will target fixing the rsETH inflation problem and getting market operations back to normal: - On Arbitrum: Burned rsETH from liquidations will be destroyed, while KelpDAO will simultaneously burn the matching LayerZero cross-chain message packet — wiping out all excess rsETH supply from the hack. - On Ethereum Mainnet: Seized rsETH will be moved to a bridging lockbox, which will be topped up with ETH from the DeFi United Alliance to finish the lockbox endorsement. Once done, the bridge will resume normal operations. After that: rsETH withdrawals will open back up, protocol parameters temporarily adjusted for liquidations will revert, and remaining affected positions will be closed out in ETH using the funds raised. Also, the LTV (Loan-to-Value) parameter for WETH on Aave V3 Ethereum Mainnet will soon return to normal. A compensation check tool is now live for users impacted by the rsETH incident to look up their expected payout amount.

Quant will provide technical support for The Clearing House’s tokenized deposit clearing network.

According to an official announcement, Quant has announced it will provide technical support for The Clearing House’s "On-Chain Currency Initiative" to build an interoperable payment network for financial institutions. Quant will oversee the network’s interoperability, orchestration, and transaction management layers, and integrate existing fiat payment systems including RTP and CHIPS, enabling financial institutions to access clearing and settlement capabilities for tokenized deposit transactions. The initiative aims to meet the growing demand from enterprises and financial institutions for faster, more automated, and flexible fund flow methods, enabling instant payment settlement and supporting auto-triggered transactions when pre-set conditions are met, thereby reducing manual operations and processing delays. Tokenized deposits are the digital form of traditional bank deposits, retaining the regulatory and protection mechanisms of conventional deposits while being recorded and transferred on-chain. The network will be applied to use cases including corporate treasury management, liquidity management, cross-border payments, and digital asset settlement, and is expected to open to participating institutions in the first half of 2027. The Clearing House stated that its U.S. payment network processes over $2 trillion in daily clearing and settlement volume, and this partnership will provide infrastructure support for financial institutions of all sizes to participate in the tokenized deposit network.

SlowMist's Cosine questions THORChain's double standard: the protocol intervened in its own hack incident, yet insists it has "no right to interfere" in external related events.

SlowMist founder Yu Xian stated in a post that the Bitget hack is a widespread, public, high-value and clear hacker incident, with North Korean hacker fund traces quickly linked. Circle, Tether and other platforms acted promptly to freeze relevant funds, especially Circle froze the USDC held by the hackers. THORChain, which itself was previously hacked, intervened quickly as a self-proclaimed "decentralized" platform. However, when facing major industry events, it ignored communication with all parties, compared itself to Bitcoin and Ethereum, claimed to be decentralized, asserted it had no right to interfere, and continued to enjoy large cross-chain fees contributed by North Korean hackers. Decentralization is not a slogan; in major industry events, the key is to clarify which problems need to be addressed collectively.
