After the hack, the latest Aave report proposes two ways to handle its bad debt, and both are problematic
The first spreads losses across all rsETH holders, meaning about a 15% drop to cover roughly 124 million dollars. This unfairly impacts regular users and weakens trust in DeFi
The second shifts the burden to Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum, Base, and Mantle.rsETH there could fall up to 73%, protecting mainnet but severely hurting L2 users and damaging confidence in Aave’s multi chain strategy
In my opinion, a better path would be for Aave to coordinate with LayerZero, Kelp DAO, and other partners to absorb the losses together
Restoring trust matters more than choosing the least painful shortcut
