Rocket Pool has asked Aave to take rETH out of a proposed V3 Core cleanup and review it separately, putting the token’s collateral status at issue in the lending protocol’s broader risk changes.
The dispute concerns collateral rules in decentralized finance (DeFi). LlamaRisk’s plan would focus Aave V3 Core on assets it considers established and liquid, with restrictions proposed for selected collateral and smaller reserves.
Rocket Pool General Manager Darren raised the request in a Nov. 12 post to Aave’s governance forum. He asked for rETH to be removed from the wider proposal and evaluated separately under Aave’s Risk Framework.
StakeWise founder Dmitri had sought a different process the day before: a standalone decision on whether to freeze osETH, StakeWise’s overcollateralized staked Ether token. StakeWise sought a separate vote on that proposed freeze; Rocket Pool asked for rETH to leave the broader proposal and receive its own assessment.
EconoTimes previously reported on LlamaRisk’s three-token freeze plan, which covered assets with $538.6 million in collateral and $364.1 million in debt on Nov. 9. The package also included six smaller reserves.
In LlamaRisk’s Nov. 9 snapshot, 317 positions involved rETH collateral valued at $81.8 million and debt totaling $35.4 million. Most of the borrowing was in stablecoins.
The proposed first steps would bar additional deposits of the targeted assets and new borrowing against them. Aave would reset those assets’ loan-to-value settings to zero, while keeping current positions open. The plan also proposes coordinating migration with issuers and large borrowers; holders could repay loans, withdraw collateral or move positions elsewhere.
The proposal sets no vote date. If approved, its initial measures would move into the Aave Improvement Proposal process.
