how the ETH2 deposit contract could have saved 18+ ETH ($56,000+) & more with this minor optimization trick on sparse merkle trees, and on SSTORE2 🧵1/n

if you need some conviction in DeFi just look at this within hours after the hack someone has spun up a marketplace for aEthWETH deposit tokens if you can't withdraw right now, someone is willing to buy your illiquid deposit token from you offers start at 7.5% discount
We have deployed a new secondary market for aEthWETH. Following today’s incident involving Aave’s rsETH market where approximately $200M was extracted, we moved to support secondary liquidity for affected positions. aEthWETH depositors can now access secondary market liquidity, enabling price discovery and a path to exit for affected users.

Compound moving to a very similar design as Aave V4. Guess we go full circle with this one - Compound V1 was a major inspiration for Aave V1
I've seen this somewhere before 👀 Jokes aside, I do think hub/spoke architecture is the right direction for a lending protocol to capture wide range of existing and future use-cases and access more granular risk controls. Good call.

@aave V4 creates new ways to innovate and connect to the new hub shared liquidity module. In my talk Im explaining the original design of Aave V4 and the ways the design changed to make the future integrations of third party spokes safer and much easier! The Aave labs team did the extra mile (or 10 miles) for security and composability. Aave will win💜👻 youtu.be/0k88M8l-l68?si=izfC…

After three years of R&D, Aave V4 is finally live. This represents the first complete rework of the Aave protocol since Aave V1, with a great set of innovations and a fresh design space to build features on top. What does this mean for Aave in the medium and long term

Aave has no exposure to Resolv USR. Resolv is a liquidity provider on Aave, supplying its backing assets to the protocol. These assets remain safe, as the backing itself was unaffected. Resolv will be able to exit gracefully and already started to repay the debt. There are no adverse effects on Aave liquidity providers, and zero impact on the Aave Protocol.

special shoutout to @tomer_ganor for lending his deep expertise, sharp instincts & unparalleled enthusiasm to this project over the past year ⚡️
Aave V4 was built security-first, with layered security controls from early architecture through post-audit fix validation. We’ve published a full transparency report on the Aave V4 security program. Read it below.

For a while we at @AvailProject have been exploring multiple directions to scale the blob size with minimum security tradeoffs and to go beyond KZG for post quantum era. Happy to open our recent work for feedbacks and peer review. What FRIVail offers: - Sharded blobs at its core allowing for horizontal scaling. - Both qost quantum, and hybrid security models. - Extremely efficient evaluations thanks to the incredible FRI Binius scheme from @jimpo_potamus and the team at @IrreducibleHW that we extensively use, and thanks to the binary field operations the performance on M-series chips is absolutely incredible. eprint.iacr.org/2025/2292

Aave V4 alpha: "Risk Premiums" Borrowers who back their loans with riskier collateral pay a 📈 higher premium If you provide less risky asset like $ETH, you'd now pay lower interest compared to other exotic assets

Today at 10:30 we’re unpacking the story behind securing @aave V4 the design, the threats, and what really went into making it resilient. If you’re building or breaking DeFi, this is a session you definitely don’t want to miss. 🔥 @imderl @certora xitter.cf/summit_defi/status/198…
DeFi security cannot rely on quick fixes. It must be built into the architecture itself. At DSS, @imderl from @aave and @tomer_ganor from @certora will explain how Aave V4 was designed for resilience and how formal verification by Certora strengthens its safety.
