Aave founder confirms v3 platform unaffected after third‑party adapter exploit

According to Cointelegraph, Stani Kulechov, the founder of Aave, stated that Aave version 3 remained intact following an attack that used a third‑party adapter to withdraw funds from two Safe multisig wallets. The loss amounted to roughly $305,000.

The exploit targeted a third‑party adapter associated with the protocol; it did not involve direct modification or compromise of Aave v3’s core codebase or infrastructure. Kulechov emphasized that the platform’s design and current safeguards prevented any impact on users’ deposits or operations within v3.

Aave’s response included an internal review of adapter integration points and reaffirmed ongoing monitoring of external dependencies. No further details on remediation steps or timeline were provided at this stage.
