Gate News, April 7: Aave’s leading risk management firm, Chaos Labs, announced that it has officially exited its partnership with Aave, ending a risk management service that has lasted for three years. Chaos Labs founder Omer Goldberg said the exit was mainly due to three reasons: it has been operating at a loss for the long term, its core contributors BGD Labs and ACI have left one after another, and there is a fundamental disagreement in risk management philosophy between Chaos Labs and Aave Labs in the context of the launch of Aave V4. Aave Labs previously proposed a $5 million budget carryover plan, but Chaos Labs said the minimum budget it actually needs to operate V3 and V4 is $8 million, and even if the budget issue could be resolved, the disagreement between the two sides on risk management priorities would still be difficult to bridge. Goldberg noted that after V4 goes live, the workload for transition period work will double rather than be cut in half, and the current infrastructure has not yet been validated in real-world conditions, so the risks cannot be underestimated. In response, Aave Labs CEO Stani Kulechov said the V4 migration does not have a mandatory timeline, and that V3 is still running normally.

Aave emergency motion counters: $73 million in frozen ETH: “The thief does not own what he stole”
Aave filed an emergency motion with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking to lift the freeze on 30,766 ETH (about $73 million). Core arguments: the stolen assets remain the property of the original users, and the thief cannot obtain ownership; when the Arbitrum Safe Committee returns funds, the stolen assets would immediately revert to the victims; the evidence related to North Korea’s Lazarus Group is hearsay, and the hearing is expected to be held at the end of May. This case will affect DeFi governance and future risks around asset ownership.
