BlockBeats News, March 15th, Aave released a Swap incident retrospective, stating that a user exchanged approximately $50.43 million aEthUSDT for approximately $36,000 aEthAAVE through the CoW Swap route on the Aave frontend, with a price impact of approximately 99.9%.

Aave stated that the transaction occurred on a third-party Swap protocol and did not affect the core lending protocol. The reason for the incident was that the user executed a large order in a market with extremely low liquidity and accepted a high-risk quote. Aave announced that it will introduce the Aave Shield feature, which will by default prevent Swaps with price impacts exceeding 25%.
