CoinDeskAave Governance Proposal to Exit Six Low-Revenue Chains: Economic and Risk Implications (not officially confirmed)
CoinDesk has reported, but not officially confirmed, that Aave is considering a governance proposal to withdraw from six blockchains—Sonic, Scroll, zkSync, Metis, Soneium, and Aptos—due to minimal revenue and declining deposits. The proposal would also retire 50 asset markets elsewhere, affecting approximately $98 million in deposits. The affected chains collectively account for less than 1% of Aave’s total assets and generate under $5,000 in quarterly revenue each, which is insufficient to cover operational costs. The move is framed as both a cost-cutting and risk-reduction measure, with markets to be frozen and borrowing made expensive to encourage voluntary user exit. This information remains not officially confirmed and is based solely on CoinDesk’s reporting.
