„The WETH interest rate model has been adjusted via the Risk Steward„

On 18 April 2026, the Aave Guardian was alerted to a potential exploit involving rsETH and, starting at 18:52 UTC, froze rsETH and wrsETH markets across all deployments where the asset is listed. All Aave pools remain safe and operational, and the incident is scoped to rsETH rather than stemming from a vulnerability in the Aave protocol itself. Freezing the markets prevents new deposits and new borrows against rsETH as collateral, while existing positions are unaffected by the freeze itself. The Protocol Security Council applied equivalent measures on Aave V4, disabling new supply and borrow activity against rsETH, while Kelp, LayerZero and other teams investigate the underlying cause.
