The rsETH markets on Aave V3 and Aave V4 have been frozen. Aave's contracts have not been exploited and this is an exploit related to rsETH.
The freeze follows an exploit of the Kelp DAO rsETH bridge. Freezing the rsETH markets prevents new deposits and borrowing against rsETH collateral while the situation is assessed.
We are reviewing information about rsETH borrows on Aave that occurred after the exploit and will share more details as soon as possible.
If the protocol accumulates bad debt from this incident, we'll explore paths to offset the deficit.
All ETH that was staked via frontier will be available to the Aave DAO roughly a week from now.
The clearer the situation gets the more optimistic I get about aave V3 wETH core depositors.
Still a few moving parts but worst case seems behind us.
I’ll let the ones currently in charge of Aave communicates as they see fit.
We played our small part as we believed was best.

ETHEREUM IS ABOUT TO BECOME THE PAYMENT LAYER FOR AI
Circle CEO says in 3–5 years,
“literally billions” of AI agents will use crypto and stablecoins to move value at lightning speed.
BitMine is building its balance sheet on that layer.
🔹 Stablecoins scale
🔹 AI transacts
🔹 Ethereum settles
🔹 BitMine accumulates
Ethereum already hosts the majority of stablecoin supply.
If AI is the next internet,
Ethereum is the financial operating system.
Tom Lee @fundstrat saw this early.

🚨 🇺🇸 TRUMP: “I DON’T NEED INTERNATIONAL LAW - MY OWN MORALITY IS THE ONLY LIMIT ON MY POWER”
In a New York Times interview, Trump said the only constraint on his ability to use military force globally is his own judgment.
“My own morality. My own mind.
It's the only thing that can stop me.
I don't need international law.
I'm not looking to hurt people."
Pressed on whether his administration must follow international law, he said "I do," but added "it depends what your definition of international law is," making clear he'd be the one deciding when it applies.
The comments came as Trump threatened military action against multiple countries and extracted the U.S. from dozens of international organizations.
