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.

Crypto and investment firms tied to the Trump family are pre-emptively bracing for investigations following the Democratic Party’s midterm elections.

According to Bloomberg, as the U.S. midterm elections approach and the likelihood of Democrats regaining at least one chamber of Congress rises, cryptocurrency, venture capital, and prediction market firms linked to former President Trump and his family are strengthening their legal and lobbying teams to prepare for potential congressional investigations. The firms in question include the Trump family co-founded crypto project World Liberty Financial, prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi, Changpeng Zhao, and venture capital firm 1789 Capital. Some of these companies have hired prominent lawyers and lobbyists, several of whom have ties to Democratic lawmakers. Democrats have previously demanded relevant information from World Liberty Financial and 1789 Capital, and asked the U.S. Department of Justice to clarify the circumstances surrounding Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao’s receipt of a Trump pardon. Democratic lawmakers have said that if they secure a congressional majority, they will use investigative and subpoena powers to examine potential conflicts of interest between the Trump family’s business interests and government policies, including whether the firms have obtained government contracts or other special treatment. The report points out that the ongoing investigations still face obstacles, including some evidence and documents being located overseas, and uncertainty over whether federal agencies such as the Department of Justice will take further action. The involved firms maintain that their business activities are in compliance with the law.
