Aave has taken precautionary measures by implementing temporary security protocols in various markets. These measures include pausing the Aave V2 Ethereum market and suspending certain assets on the V2 Avalanche platform. While users are still able to withdraw and repay, they are temporarily unable to conduct transactions involving the affected assets, which have been frozen for security reasons.
Aave, a well-known DeFi liquidity protocol, has proactively implemented several security measures on its platform. These measures include pausing assets in multiple markets due to information about a potential threat.
In a recent announcement on the X platform (formerly Twitter), Aave revealed that it had received a notification related to a specific feature within the Aave Protocol.

Aave’s Precautionary Security Measures
Aave has taken proactive security steps that span various markets and different blockchains on both Aave V2 and V3. Specifically, the protocol has paused activities in the Aave V2 Ethereum market and suspended specific assets on Aave V2 within the Avalanche network. It also froze certain cryptocurrency assets on Aave V3 across Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism networks.
Users who have provided or borrowed against frozen assets are still able to withdraw or repay their positions. However, they cannot supply more or borrow further against these assets. No transactions are permitted on paused assets.
Aave clarified that the reported feature has no impact on several markets and networks. Specifically, Aave V3 markets on Ethereum, Base, and Metis remain unaffected. The Aave V2 markets on Polygon and Avalanche are also operating as usual.
Funds Security and Future Steps
Importantly, Aave assured users that no funds in any Aave markets were at risk during these security measures. The protocol is currently working on a governance proposal to restore regular operations. Furthermore, Aave pledged to provide a comprehensive post-incident analysis once the issue has been resolved.
