Aave's Risk Manager Wants a Borrowing Speed Limit After Binance Hackers Took $44.6 Million
LlamaRisk, the risk manager for lending protocol Aave, is going to put a throttle on how much can be borrowed on Aave over certain periods of time, CEO Adam Sadowski said during an episode of Uneasy Money recorded Nov.
The comments came six days after a wallet tied to the Binance hot-wallet hack posted USDT, a stablecoin its issuer can freeze, as collateral on Aave and borrowed ether against it. LlamaRisk places that wallet in the exploiter's cluster, and Etherscan labels it a Binance hot-wallet exploiter.
Sadowski said LlamaRisk is building a solution right now, which he introduced by referring to risk oracles, systems that take real-world signals and turn them into actions on a DeFi protocol. In this case, he said, it would limit "the borrowing capability over certain time periods." He gave no timeline or design details, such as the size of the limits or the length of each period.
