[Aave to Overhaul Collateral and Adjust Asset Listing Standards to Address KelpDAO Exploit Risk]
According to CoinDesk, Aave Labs will rewrite asset listing and collateral risk management rules. Beyond the current price and volatility assessments, new reviews will be introduced for interoperability, cybersecurity, and underlying infrastructure, along with the release of minimum standard guidelines for asset issuers. This move stems from the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge attack in April, where hackers minted approximately $293 million worth of unbacked rsETH and used it as collateral on Aave to borrow real wETH, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in bad debt for the protocol. Aave will also shift from a single-pool perspective to studying systemic interconnections between different DeFi protocols to reduce cross-protocol risks and is calling on other DeFi projects to adopt similar standards.
