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.

Пов'язані питання

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.

Agent Race Ends, Super Workbench Takes Over

The era of fragmented AI agents is ending. Over the past month, China's tech giants—Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance—have simultaneously shifted strategy: instead of launching new, standalone AI agents, they are consolidating their various agent projects into unified "super workbenches." Tencent integrated its QClaw teams into WorkBuddy, a strategic product hailed as a potential third flagship after QQ and WeChat. Alibaba is merging its QoderWork, Wukong, and MuleRun agents into a new "Qianwen Office" platform under DingTalk's leadership. ByteDance rebranded its TRAE SOLO coding agent to TRAE Work, signaling a broader focus on workflow collaboration. This convergence marks a pivotal industry consensus. The initial exploration phase, where companies rapidly built numerous overlapping agents for different scenarios, proved costly and inefficient. With open-source tools eroding technical barriers, competition has shifted from agent creation to resource consolidation and cost control. Historically, platform wars are won not by creating more products, but by simplifying them—as seen with browsers unifying web access and super-apps consolidating services. Now, the "super workbench" aims to become the unified AI entry point for work. This reflects a deeper market realization: the primary audience for AI is no longer just programmers (a market in the tens of millions) but all knowledge workers (a market of billions). The real opportunity lies in augmenting everyday tasks—managing emails, documents, data, and meetings—across the entire workday. The core battleground is becoming control over the primary AI entry point that employees use daily. Tencent's WorkBuddy leverages WeChat and Tencent Docs; Alibaba's Qianwen Office taps into DingTalk's organizational data; ByteDance's TRAE Work integrates with Feishu's workflows. Whoever owns this "super workbench" gains strategic control over orchestrating enterprise data and APIs. This shift is redefining enterprise software. Traditional SaaS applications, valued for their user interfaces, will recede into the background. Their core functionalities will be exposed as standardized "Skills" or APIs for the super workbench's agents to invoke. Software value will shift from selling user seats to charging based on API calls and outcomes delivered. The evolution of agents is moving through clear stages: first as novel standalone products, then as consolidated primary work entry points, and finally as pervasive, invisible capabilities embedded into the digital fabric. The recent moves by major tech firms signal the transition from the first stage into the second, accelerating toward the third. In the end, the most successful agent technology may become invisible—like electricity or the HTTP protocol—a fundamental, unnamed infrastructure powering work itself.

Michael Saylor: 110 Reasons to Oppose BIP-110

Michael Saylor presents 110 arguments against Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 110, a soft fork aimed at restricting certain non-monetary data storage uses (like inscriptions) on the Bitcoin blockchain. He acknowledges the proponents' valid concerns—such as node costs, fee pressure, and preserving Bitcoin's monetary focus—but fundamentally disagrees with the proposed solution. Saylor argues that BIP 110 represents a dangerous precedent of using consensus rules to enforce value judgments on transaction validity, moving away from Bitcoin's core principles of neutrality and permissionless innovation. His key objections are organized into eleven categories: 1) It violates neutrality and hard consensus by banning currently valid transactions. 2) It fails to meet the high burden of proof required for a consensus change, lacking concrete data on the alleged crisis. 3) Its seven bundled technical restrictions are overly broad, targeting generic script functionalities and blocking future upgrade paths. 4) It sacrifices compatibility and future optionality by closing off designed upgrade hooks. 5) Its temporary rules add significant complexity (grandfathering, expiry states) without sufficient justification. 6) The economic and security impacts, particularly on miner revenue and fee markets, are uncertain and unmodeled. 7) Superior, market-based tools (fee markets, relay/mining policies) already exist to manage blockchain load. 8) It stifles innovation by creating a chilling effect for developers. 9) Its modified activation mechanism (55% threshold, forced signaling) is aggressive and risks network splits. 10) The precedent it sets—using consensus to suppress disliked but legal uses—is more dangerous than the problem it aims to solve. 11) A better path exists: improving measurements, refining resource-based policies, and allowing market forces to work. Saylor concludes that Bitcoin's strength lies in its neutral rules, open markets, and hard consensus. Changing these foundational elements to target specific use cases is an unnecessary and risky "iatrogenic" intervention. He advocates for guarding Bitcoin's neutrality rather than acting as its redeemer.
