Mantle Proposes 30,000 ETH Loan to Aave DAO to Address Bad Debt
- Loan Proposal: Mantle has proposed a loan of up to 30,000 ETH to Aave DAO to address bad debt resulting from the rsETH bridge exploit on April 18, 2026, with estimated losses ranging from $123.7 million to $230.1 million, highlighting Mantle's commitment to the stability of the DeFi ecosystem.
- Attack Background: The exploit took advantage of a vulnerability in Kelp DAO's LayerZero bridge setup, allowing the minting of 116,500 unbacked rsETH tokens, which were then used as collateral on Aave V3 to borrow approximately $190 million, exposing significant risks within the Aave protocol.
- Ecosystem Collaboration: Mantle's proposal is part of a broader coalition of DeFi projects, including Frax, Lido, and Ethena, that have pledged support for Aave's recovery efforts, demonstrating unity and collaboration within the DeFi community.
- Risk Management Measures: To safeguard Mantle's treasury, the proposal includes collateral held in a designated multisig wallet, and Aave will allocate 5% of protocol revenue along with AAVE tokens worth no less than $11 million, ensuring the security and sustainability of the loan.
