PANews reported on March 15 that Aave released a recap report of the Swap incident on March 12, stating that a user attempted to exchange approximately 50.43 million aEthUSDT (worth approximately $50.43 million) for aEthAAVE through the integrated CoW Swap route on its front-end interface. However, due to the transaction size far exceeding market liquidity, the user ultimately only received approximately 327 aEthAAVE, worth approximately $36,000.

Aave stated that the transaction occurred on the third-party CoW Swap protocol and did not affect the security of Aave's core lending protocol. The transaction quote showed a price impact of up to 99.9%, and the interface clearly indicated that it "may result in a 100% loss of value," requiring users to check the confirmation box before continuing the transaction.

Aave released a recap of the Swap incident: users exchanged $50.43 million worth of aEthUSDT for approximately $36,000 worth of AAVE, due to a liquidity shortage that caused an extreme price shock.

The on-chain execution process shows that the transaction funds are first exchanged for WETH in the USDT/WETH pool of Uniswap V3, and then AAVE is purchased through the AAVE/WETH pool of SushiSwap, eventually generating about 331 AAVE and depositing them into Aave V3 to mint aEthAAVE.

Aave stated that the root cause of this incident was the extreme price impact of a large transaction in a low-liquidity market, rather than slippage. As an improvement measure, Aave plans to launch the "Aave Shield" protection mechanism, which by default blocks swap transactions where price impact exceeds 25%. Users will need to manually disable this protection to continue high-risk trading. Additionally, this transaction incurred approximately $110,000 in swap fees; Aave stated that if the user contacts them and completes the verification process, they will consider refunding the relevant fees.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
