The same $50 million incident, but Aave and CoW Swap gave completely different responses. CoW Swap released an incident analysis report, pointing to a series of systemic failures: a hardcoded gas limit caused optimal quote verification to fail, the best solver won the auction twice but didn’t execute, and transactions were suspected to have leaked from the private mempool—$5-6 million could have been recovered in the early stages. On-chain data shows that block builder Titan Builder extracted approximately $34 million in ETH, while another MEV bot profited about $9.9 million through a sandwich attack. Meanwhile, last week, Aave attributed the loss to a 'non-liquid market,' emphasized that users had manually confirmed 99.9% of the price impact warnings, and announced the launch of 'Aave Shield,' which will by default block swaps with a price impact exceeding 25%.
