Aave Moves to Pull the Plug on Its Aptos Bug Bounty

1 month ago 20

Key Takeaways

Aave is reviewing the ongoing security setup around its Aptos deployment.
The Aptos version of Aave V3 uses Move and carries a separate technical scope.
A different governance proposal covers lending activity and possible limits on new use.
July’s market snapshot showed sharply lower liquidity and minimal revenue.
Both measures require governance approval before they affect the protocol.

Aave’s latest ARFC asks the DAO to sunset the bug-bounty program for Aave V3 on Aptos and end Cantina’s role as its provider.

A bug bounty pays independent researchers for valid vulnerability reports. The program provides an ongoing route for security findings after a product goes live.

The request arrives while Aave is separately debating the future of its Aptos lending market. Those discussions cover the market itself and the services that support it.
