Resumo

Aave, a leading DeFi lending protocol, is facing a severe internal crisis marked by the departure of key service providers, raising concerns about its governance, security, and future direction. The crisis began when Chaos Labs, the protocol's long-time risk management provider, terminated its relationship with Aave. The firm cited financial losses, the exit of other major contributors, and fundamental disagreements over the risk architecture of the upcoming Aave V4. Aave Labs declined Chaos Labs' demands for a significant fee increase and exclusive control over key functions like risk management and oracle services. This exit followed the departure of two other critical partners. BGD Labs, the primary technical contributor to Aave V3, accused Aave Labs of forcing an aggressive transition to V4 by limiting V3 development and devaluing its work. Subsequently, the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI), a major governance service provider, announced its planned exit, criticizing Aave Labs for centralizing power and controlling a large portion of voting tokens. The conflict highlights a central paradox within DAOs: the tension between founder-led vision and decentralized governance, and between long-term protocol health and short-term capital interests. Aave Labs is pushing for a more integrated and efficient "Aave Will Win" model with V4, arguing it is necessary for competing at an institutional level. However, critics warn this centralization comes at the cost of the protocol's decentr...

Rather than external pressures from the bear market, Aave's internal issues have instead birthed a "black swan."

Aave, long perched atop the lending sector throne, is experiencing the most severe ecosystem shock since its inception. There was no hacker attack, no code vulnerability—only a loss of control and a clash of interests.

From the decisive departure of its technical pillar BGD Labs, to the public split with governance pioneer ACI (Aave Chan Initiative), and now the official severance of ties with risk management steward Chaos Labs, a "great retreat" of service providers is underway.

The depth of this struggle far exceeds a mere partnership dispute; it triggers the ultimate paradox of a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization): the opposition between founder's will and distributed governance, the conflict between protocol long-termism and capital's short-term profit-seeking, and the balance between decentralized faith and centralized efficiency for a blue-chip protocol during its scaling phase.

Can Aave continue to win?

Chaos Labs Abandons the Risk Management Gate: What's the Hidden Reason?

On April 7th, Chaos Labs, deeply involved with Aave V2/V3 for three years and achieving "zero major bad debt," announced it was cutting ties with Aave. The exit of this top-tier risk control firm directly hit Aave's security red line.

Chaos Labs cited three reasons: long-term losses, the departure of key contributors BGD Labs and ACI, and fundamental disagreements with Aave Labs on risk management philosophy in the context of the Aave V4 launch.

The focal point of the conflict is V4's "Hub-and-Spoke" architecture: Chaos Labs pointed out that while this design improves capital efficiency, it also exponentially amplifies risk. In an environment with unclear legal liability definitions, the risk control team would need to double their workload to maintain both the massive V3 and V4 systems simultaneously.

Aave Labs expressed respect for this decision and thanked them for their years of contribution, stating that the protocol's smart contracts and network deployments remain unaffected. However, the parting of ways had underlying reasons.

Aave Labs disclosed that it had engaged in multiple rounds of negotiations with Chaos Labs regarding a renewal proposal. It supported increasing their risk management fee from the current level to $5 million but did not support directly raising it to $8 million without subsequent附加条款 (fùjiā tiáokuǎn - additional clauses). It also explicitly opposed three exclusivity clauses: appointing Chaos Labs as the sole risk manager, replacing Chainlink with the Chaos Labs oracle, and setting the unaudited Chaos Labs treasury as the default treasury for all B2B integrations.

Simply put, Chaos Labs wanted to expand its control and commercial interests. But for a DeFi protocol, over-reliance on a single supplier for risk management significantly increases systemic risk and weakens the protocol's own governance independence. For Aave, the potential risk was too great.

Furthermore, in March of this year, the Aave CAPO oracle managed by Chaos Labs suffered an on-chain configuration error, leading to the undervaluation of wstETH by approximately 2.85% and mistakenly triggering the forced liquidation of healthy positions worth about $27 million.

Aave Labs emphasized it will continue to adhere to a two-tier risk management model and introduce a third-tier technical risk management mechanism led by Aave Labs. During the transition, LlamaRisk will take over more risk coverage duties from Chaos Labs, with Aave Labs supporting its team expansion and budget, and providing engineering and analytical resources to ensure a smooth handover.

Regarding Aave V4, its architecture introduces isolated risk markets, new liquidation logic, and governance-controlled parameter mechanisms through Spokes, allowing the DAO to manage risks across different markets and assets more granularly. In the short term, Aave Labs will work closely with LlamaRisk to ensure a smooth risk management transition and unaffected protocol operation.

Technology and Governance Also Falter, Internal Risks at Aave Intensify

Beyond the security front, Aave's technology and governance have also faltered in the past two months.

On April 1st, Aave V3 technical service provider BGD Labs announced the termination of all technical contributions—this was no April Fool's joke. As the main development team for V3, BGD accused Aave Labs of "artificially limiting" V3 feature development and "malignantly devaluing" its worth to强行推行 (qiángxíng tuīxíng - forcibly push) the immature V4, even using parameters to force user migration.

BGD stated that V3 contributed 98% of Aave's code and nearly all its TVL, generating over $100 million in annual revenue, and was the "jewel" in the protocol's crown. Aave Labs closed V4 development to external teams, excluding them. BGD Labs had neither a voice nor fair compensation and could only protest this "radical transition" and irresponsibility towards user asset security by leaving.

The governance service provider ACI, led by Marc Zeller, also plans to exit in July, directly triggered by BGD Labs' departure. Marc Zeller blasted Aave Labs for initiating a "slow-motion coup": on-chain data shows it controls 23% of the AAVE token supply, with its whale voting power overwhelming community proposals.

ACI's exit signals Aave's governance moving from "checks and balances" towards "centralization," with third-party service providers reduced to mere ornaments.

Although Aave was once a model of distributed collaboration in the DeFi market—Aave Labs setting the course, third-party service providers handling development, governance, and risk control, with multiple parties complementing each other to support its leading lending position—cracks are now increasingly appearing in this golden system that operated for years.

Growing Pains or Fatal Illness? Aave Faces a Test of Capital and Trust

Amidst this complex melee, the interests of the involved parties paint starkly different pictures.

From the perspective of Aave Labs and founder Stani Kulechov, they hope to transform the protocol from a loose multi-party collaborative body into a more cohesive and efficient closed-loop ecosystem through V4 and the "Aave Will Win" framework.

The business logic behind this transformation is: DeFi has entered a scaling phase where loose collaboration alone can hardly meet institutional demands and global financial competition.

By concentrating resources on developing high-margin products and unifying brand ownership, Aave can improve execution efficiency, reduce fragmented decision-making, and enhance the value capture ability of the AAVE token.

Of course, this is also a problem mature DeFi protocols will face during scaling, and Aave's internal turmoil, as the lending leader, is magnified, becoming a mirror for the entire DeFi governance model.

However, this efficiency gain through "strongman rule" is seen as coming at the cost of the DAO's decentralized credibility.

Service providers essentially rely on professional skills to obtain funding from the DAO. When Aave Labs tries to marginalize them, or the compensation provided is insufficient to offset the growing legal and operational risks, they will inevitably choose to leave. This also reveals that under the current DAO service provider model, even top-tier teams face unsustainable business models.

For Aave, will the service provider exodus be short-term growing pains or a long-term fatal illness?

From an optimistic view, the wave of service provider departures might be a bout of "growing pains" during Aave's transformation.

  1. Streamlined Decision-Making: With multiple external stakeholders gone, Aave Labs can advance V4 more unimpeded, shortening product launch cycles in the face of fierce market competition;
  2. Frontend Revenue Recirculation: If the "Aave Will Win" proposal ultimately achieves 100% frontend revenue returning to the DAO, the AAVE token will transform from a mere "governance token" into a genuine "revenue certificate";
  3. Unified Technical Paradigm: V4's "Hub-and-Spoke" architecture solves the multi-chain fragmentation issue of V3. By unifying liquidity hubs, Aave is poised to gain a foothold in the RWA and institutional credit markets.

However, these positive expectations are largely based on the assumption that "everything goes smoothly." The realistic negative impacts are more pressing.

  1. Security Downgrade: V4's complexity requires stricter risk control mechanisms. After losing Chaos Labs, Aave now relies solely on LlamaRisk as its primary risk control service provider, creating a single point of failure that greatly increases systemic risk during extreme market conditions.
  2. Experience Vacuum: The departing service providers take with them three years of historical operational data and experience. If the protocol encounters a sudden incident, newly接手 (jiēshǒu - taking over) teams like LlamaRisk might respond slowly due to lack of deep involvement;
  3. Reputation Damage: Aave Labs' intervention in voting through substantial token holdings is essentially透支 (tòuzhī -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支 -透支

If the DAO loses its checks and balances mechanism, its appeal to new developers will be greatly diminished.

These negative impacts are also raising concerns among capital. Although Aave has not experienced very serious security incidents in the past, the uncertainty of risk is rising, and the community is beginning to question its execution and risk control capabilities. Some bluntly state, "When the old crew disembarks en masse and the new crew isn't familiar with the route yet, don't put all your assets on board."

Currently, Aave stands at a critical crossroads.

Perguntas relacionadas

QWhat are the main reasons behind the recent departure of key service providers from Aave?

AThe main reasons include disagreements over the V4 upgrade's risk management model, concerns over centralization of power by Aave Labs, insufficient compensation for service providers, and fundamental differences in vision for the protocol's future.

QHow does the departure of Chaos Labs impact Aave's risk management framework?

AChaos Labs' departure creates a significant gap in Aave's risk management, potentially increasing systemic risk. It leaves LlamaRisk as the primary risk service provider, raising concerns about single-point vulnerabilities and the loss of three years of operational experience and data.

QWhat is the 'Hub-and-Spoke' architecture in Aave V4, and why is it controversial?

AThe 'Hub-and-Spoke' architecture is a new design in Aave V4 intended to improve capital efficiency by creating a central liquidity hub connected to various isolated risk markets (spokes). It is controversial because critics, like Chaos Labs, argue it exponentially amplifies risk and creates a much larger, more complex workload for risk managers.

QWhat accusations did BGD Labs make against Aave Labs when announcing their departure?

ABGD Labs accused Aave Labs of 'artificially limiting' V3 features, 'maliciously devaluing' its contributions, and forcing user migration to the new V4. They claimed they were excluded from V4 development and left with no say in the process and no fair compensation.

QWhat is the 'Aave Will Win' framework, and what are its potential benefits and drawbacks according to the article?

AThe 'Aave Will Win' framework is a strategic vision led by Aave Labs to transform the protocol into a more cohesive and efficient ecosystem. Potential benefits include streamlined decision-making, 100% front-end revenue returning to the DAO (making the AAVE token a yield-bearing asset), and a unified technical paradigm for scaling. The main drawback is the perceived sacrifice of the protocol's decentralized credibility and governance, leading to a 'centralized' power structure.

The Second Half of Macro Influencer Fu Peng's Career

Fu Peng, a prominent Chinese macroeconomist and former chief economist of Northeast Securities, has joined Hong Kong-based digital asset management firm Bitfire Group (formerly New Huo Group) as its chief economist. This move, announced in April 2026, triggered an 11% surge in Bitfire's stock price. Fu, known for his accessible macroeconomic commentary and large social media following, will focus on integrating digital assets into global asset allocation frameworks, particularly combining FICC (fixed income, currencies, and commodities) with cryptocurrencies for institutional clients. His career includes roles at Lehman Brothers and Solomon International, with significant influence gained through public communication. However, in late 2024, Fu faced temporary social media bans after a controversial private speech at HSBC on China's economic challenges, though he denied regulatory sanctions. He later left Northeast Securities citing health reasons. Bitfire, a licensed virtual asset manager serving high-net-worth clients, seeks to build trust and attract traditional capital through Fu’s expertise and credibility. The partnership represents a strategic shift for both: Fu enters the crypto sector after a traditional finance peak, while Bitfire aims to leverage his macro framework for institutional adoption. Outcomes remain uncertain regarding capital inflows and compatibility within corporate structure.

Stablecoins Don’t Meet Core Requirements Of Money, BIS Says

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) General Manager, Pablo Hernández de Cos, stated that existing stablecoins fail to meet the core requirements of money, specifically "singleness" and "interoperability." Singleness refers to the need for different forms of money to be interchangeable at par value, which is ensured by central banks in traditional finance but not in decentralized stablecoins. Interoperability means seamless cross-platform transactions, which stablecoins currently lack due to fragmentation across multiple blockchains. These shortcomings limit stablecoins' network effects and widespread acceptance, keeping them a "niche" payment instrument. However, de Cos acknowledged their potential to improve cross-border payments, though he also warned of risks to financial stability and monetary policy. Despite a bearish crypto market, the stablecoin market cap has reached a new all-time high of over $320 billion.

What Does the Outcome of the Midterm Elections Mean for Trump and Crypto?

The article analyzes the potential impact of the upcoming US midterm elections on Trump and cryptocurrency policy. Historically, the president's party loses congressional seats in 90% of midterms since 1946, making a Republican loss in the House highly probable. Current predictions suggest Democrats may take the House while Republicans retain the Senate, resulting in a divided government. Despite potential losses, Trump could still advance crypto-friendly policies through executive orders, agency appointments (if the Senate is held), budget reconciliation, and veto power. However, major structural bills like the CLARITY Act or a comprehensive stablecoin law would likely stall without a Republican majority in both chambers. The crypto industry has invested heavily ($288 million) in the elections to push for favorable legislation before the midterm window closes in mid-2026. While Trump remains the most crypto-friendly US president to date, advancing key reforms may be delayed until after 2028 if the legislative window is missed. The overall pro-crypto shift in US politics is seen as irreversible, even if progress slows temporarily.

Cardano Leadership Structure Comes Under Scrutiny, Clouding Its Future – See Why

Cardano is recognized as one of the most decentralized blockchains, yet recent criticism highlights its lack of clear leadership. Analyst Cardano Yoda argues that despite the introduction of on-chain governance—which involves DReps (governance decision-makers) and Pentad (leadership and execution)—the network remains centralized in practice. While DReps control treasury spending, they lack coordination and strategic direction, relying instead on founding entities like IOG, the Cardano Foundation, and EMURGO. This creates fragmented leadership and accountability issues. Yoda suggests that DReps should evolve into a more coordinated body, possibly through a board or DAOs, to define strategy and improve governance effectiveness. Enhanced cooperation between DReps, founding entities, and Intersect is essential for Cardano’s future leadership clarity and operational unity.

Bitcoin Must Do This To Continue The Rally, Or It Will Be Over

A crypto analyst known as "Swarmik" has identified 17 key price levels where Bitcoin (BTC) could find support if selling pressure increases. The analysis suggests that BTC's overall outlook remains bullish, and any successful bounce from these levels could drive it back to all-time highs or beyond. The first critical support is at $70,931, followed by levels such as $68,931 (an "Imbalance Zone"), $66,638 (a "Reversal Line"), and $64,491 (a "Psychological Level"). Further down, Fibonacci retracements and other technical zones like "Fair Value Gap" and "Order Block" are highlighted. If the decline continues, lower supports include $51,612 ("Demand Zone") and $49,466 ("Supply Zone"). The analyst warns that a drop below $34,732 would invalidate the bullish structure, potentially ending the rally.
