[Aave DAO Considers Scaling Back Multichain Deployments, Potentially Disabling Certain Instances] Aave DAO is discussing adjustments to its 'multichain strategy,' which may involve gradually disabling V3 instances such as zkSync, Metis, and Soneium. According to a representative of the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) during a 'preliminary consultation' in late November, the operational costs and risk exposure of these instances exceed their revenue contributions. Although this has not yet entered the formal governance process, the discussion may signal a shift in Aave's strategy from 'maximizing coverage' to stricter deployment requirements. Launched in 2018, Aave is currently the world's largest decentralized lending protocol, with over 81% of its outstanding debt on the Ethereum network and deployments on at least 18 blockchains.
