In a post on Aave’s governance forum, Chaos Labs acknowledged issuing a “risk-off” suggestion at this stage may perhaps perhaps well be “premature” and potentially impact the protocol negatively in the end.

Aave Chan Initiative founder Marc Zeller also addressed concerns spherical how Aave would treat WBTC following custody adjustments. In a post on X, Zeller acknowledged that no single entity would unilaterally resolve the destiny of collateral, especially one as treasured as WBTC.

“wBTC users are decent. Aave values its users. I obtained’t vote to rug anyone overnight,” Zeller acknowledged.

“No instantaneous adjustments for no longer no longer up to two months. wBTC team and picks are welcome to focus on,” he added.

“There are launch questions regarding the advantageous qualities of the proposed structure and speculations about undisclosed motivations that may perhaps perhaps also simply pose additional dangers to WBTC,” acknowledged LlamaRisk within the post.
