Введение

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.

Связанные с этим вопросы

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.

Over $31 Million Stolen from Humanity, Is the Team Behind It Paving the Way for a New Project?

The article reports a major security incident involving Humanity Protocol (H), resulting in over $31 million stolen. The team attributes the hack to a private key leak from a Humanity Foundation member, leading to a rapid sale of H tokens and a 90% price drop. However, prominent on-chain investigator ZachXBT suggests the event might be an "exit scam" orchestrated by the team, rather than an external hack. This suspicion is fueled by the team's controversial history, including past management failures, legal issues, and previous scandals like outsourced technology and problematic airdrops. Further investigation reveals that the core team behind Humanity is already involved with a new project called "Everything," which recently secured funding. This has led to community speculation that the alleged hack is a deliberate scheme to abandon the H project while shifting focus and resources to their new venture, leaving investors to bear the losses. The article questions whether this is a genuine security failure or a premeditated "rug pull" strategy.

SoftBank's Son, Bankrupted by Good Stories, Awaits His Next Alibaba

Masayoshi Son is back. After years defined by Vision Fund's massive losses and costly missteps like WeWork—which shattered market confidence and led to billions in write-downs—Son has found redemption through AI. His early, high-conviction bets are paying off handsomely. Arm, acquired for $32 billion in 2016 and once a heavily leveraged burden, has become a gold mine amid the AI compute boom, delivering roughly a 10x return for SoftBank after its 2023 IPO. More crucially, SoftBank has made an enormous, concentrated bet on OpenAI, committing over $64 billion for a roughly 13% stake. This investment is already showing massive paper gains, contributing significantly to SoftBank's soaring valuation and propelling Son back to the top as Asia's richest person. The narrative has shifted from the "fool" who fell for grandiose stories to the visionary who endured a brutal downturn and is now being rewarded for his early faith in artificial intelligence.

WeChat Agent Issues a 'Heroic Summons,' Half of the Internet Responds

WeChat AI Agent is on the horizon. The WeChat Open Platform has issued a guide for developers, offering them ways to integrate into the WeChat AI ecosystem. This will enable mini-programs to be discovered and invoked by the AI. Meituan has already announced its integration, allowing users to access services like food delivery through WeChat AI. Other platforms like Ctrip and Tongcheng have followed suit. Furthermore, WeChat is collaborating with major smartphone manufacturers to enable their native AI assistants to perform actions within WeChat, such as initiating calls or sending messages, through a controlled protocol called Agent-to-Agent (A2A). Reports indicate the WeChat AI Agent will be accessible by swiping right on the main interface. It aims to understand user intent within the rich context of chats, groups, and past interactions, then automatically call upon relevant mini-programs to complete tasks like ordering coffee or booking restaurants. This positions it as a potential "super app" with direct access to WeChat's vast ecosystem of services, social connections, and payment systems. Technically, this is a complex endeavor. It requires advanced natural language understanding, a "world model" to predict interactions within mini-programs (UI-Oceanus), multi-model orchestration for cost efficiency, and careful coordination with millions of third-party service providers. Tencent's development follows a "Co-Design" approach, where product teams and the Hunyuan model team collaborate closely, allowing capabilities honed in other AI products (like Yuanbao for chat, ima for search, WorkBuddy for office tasks) to be transferred to the WeChat Agent. Tencent is strategically opting for the A2A protocol over GUI-based automation (which it has blocked in the past), maintaining control over its ecosystem. To manage the immense scale and cost of serving 1.4 billion monthly active users, Tencent is deepening its ties with DeepSeek, known for its cost-effective training, to secure a low-cost inference backbone. The ultimate goal is to solve practical, everyday problems for users within the WeChat ecosystem, moving beyond technical benchmarks to deliver real utility, which Tencent sees as the key to winning in the long-term AI game.

Strategy Erases Last Week’s Bitcoin Sale With 1,550 BTC Purchase

Strategy, a major Bitcoin treasury firm, has made a substantial purchase of 1,550 BTC for approximately $101 million. This acquisition completely offsets the company's sale of 32 BTC just one week prior, which had negatively impacted market sentiment. Following this buy, Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings have reached a new record of 845,256 BTC. The company's leadership, including Chairman Michael Saylor and CEO Phong Le, emphasized their ongoing strategy to accumulate Bitcoin over time. Concurrently, Strategy added $100 million to its USD reserve, bringing its total to $1 billion, to ensure dividend payments. The purchase was reportedly funded through sales of the company's stock. Meanwhile, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced a fourth consecutive week of net outflows, totaling $1.72 billion last week. Bitcoin's price is currently around $63,400, reflecting a nearly 12% decline over the past seven days.

Humanity Loses $31 Million in Attack, Token Price Plummets 90% Due to a Single Private Key

On June 9th, the digital identity project Humanity Protocol suffered a major security breach resulting in over $31 million in losses. According to on-chain analyst Specter, hundreds of wallets holding the project's H token were drained. The attack was confirmed by founder Terence Kwok to be caused by the compromise of a foundation member's private key. As a precaution, users are advised to avoid interacting with Humanity's cross-chain bridge or liquidity pools. The incident caused the H token price to crash over 90%, from around $0.70 to a low of $0.052, wiping its market cap from $2 billion to approximately $35.7 million. The attacker allegedly minted 100 million new H tokens and is selling them for BNB. This breach adds to existing controversies surrounding Humanity Protocol. Founded in 2024, it aimed to verify human users via palm-print biometrics and zero-knowledge proofs. However, a leaked conversation in 2025 revealed that only about 1 million of its 9 million claimed Human IDs had completed biometric verification, suggesting 88% might be bots. Furthermore, the project has faced allegations of being a repackaged product from a Chinese access control vendor, raising privacy and authenticity concerns. Founder Terence Kwok's previous venture, Tink Labs, a hotel smartphone startup that raised $170 million, failed and entered bankruptcy in 2020 after burning through its funding. The current attack highlights the persistent critical issue of private key management in crypto. Unlike smart contract exploits, a private key compromise bypasses all on-chain security mechanisms. With no user compensation plan announced yet, this $31 million breach may be a final blow to the project's credibility, already weakened by previous controversies and a heavily depreciated token.
