According to The Block, Aave founder Stani Kulechov announced on July 30, 2026, that Aave proposed to delist 50 low-adoption asset reserves and 21 expired Pendle PTs, and completely shut down six small deployments: Sonic, Scroll, zkSync, Metis, Soneium, and Aptos, involving a total of approximately $98.1 million in supplied assets and $15.6 million in outstanding debt. The proposal was drafted by risk service provider LlamaRisk and executed under Aave's new risk framework, aimed at streamlining operational overhead and reducing maintenance costs for oracle and liquidation infrastructure. Affected reserves will have new activities frozen and supply and borrow caps reduced, while reserve factors for deployments pending closure will be increased to 99% to encourage users to actively close positions.
