Aave to Shut Down Six Networks Affecting $98 Million in Assets

Aave is preparing to exit six blockchain deployments as part of a major cleanup effort. The protocol plans to deprecate fifty low adoption reserves across its ecosystem. This move impacts a total of $98.1 million in supplied assets and $15.6 million in outstanding debt.

Networks including Sonic, Scroll, and Aptos are on the list for removal. The team intends to streamline operations by removing markets that have not gained enough traction with users. This strategy shift is designed to prioritize liquidity on more active chains.

Users with funds in these markets should prepare for the wind down. While the protocol moves to close these specific deployments, the core platforms remain active. Traders should monitor official communication from the governance team regarding the timeline for asset withdrawals.
