Aave Pauses Lending Markets for 17 Ethereum-Based Tokens

  • Wechat scan to share

Decentralized lending protocol Aave has temporarily frozen lending markets for 17 tokens in an effort to protect itself from taking on bad debt due to future market manipulation attacks. 

Aave is the largest lending protocol on Ethereum with more than $3.65 billion in assets locked across multiple chains. Its decision to temporarily halt lending of several tokens on Aave version 2.0 was passed after governance members approved a proposal from Llama and Chaos Labs asking to pause assets that are considered as “volatile” due to low liquidity profiles on Aave.

The lending markets are yearn.finance, Curve DAO,  0x, Decentraland, 1inch, Basic Attention Token, Ampleforth, DeFi Pulse Index, renFIL and Maker, Enjin, xSUSHI and five stablecoins: sUSD, GUSD, RAI, USDP, and LUSD. 

The protocol will not allow users to deposit these assets or take loans with them on the platform for the sake of risk management.
