Aave Halts Ethereum and V3 Markets Due to Feature Issue Concerns

2023/11/06 09:43

The decentralised finance (DeFi) protocol Aave temporarily halted several markets in response to reports of an issue related to a specific feature.

This precautionary action was communicated via a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).

- Pause the Aave V2 Ethereum Market
- Pause certain assets on Aave V2 on Avalanche
- Freeze certain assets on Aave V3 on Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism

The suspension of trading impacted various networks, including the Aave v2 Ethereum Market and specific assets on Aave v2 on Avalanche.

Additionally, certain assets on Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism were also temporarily frozen.

Aave's Stance on Security Strengthening

In light of this emerging situation, Aave's team, in close collaboration with community developers, promptly investigated the anomaly and implemented a preventive freeze.

Importantly, Aave assured the community that user funds remained secure throughout the temporary pause.

Notably, the announcement did not specify the precise nature of the problem or the feature that triggered the issue, nor did it detail the affected assets.

Ensuring Seamless User Access

Aave emphasised that no funds were at risk in any of its markets.

Furthermore, Aave clarified that the issue did not affect Aave v3 markets on Ethereum, Base, and Metis, and Aave v2 markets on Polygon and Avalanche remained unaffected.

A governance proposal to restore the normal operation of the protocols will be submitted shortly. Detailed postmortem will be released once the issue is fully resolved.

Users who had supplied or borrowed from the frozen assets retained the ability to withdraw and repay their positions, but further supply and borrowing activities were temporarily suspended until the issue was fully resolved.

No actions could be performed on the paused assets.

As a reminder, users supplying to/borrowing from frozen assets can still withdraw and repay positions but they can not supply or borrow more until resolved. On paused assets, no action can be done until unpaused.
