Aave DAO just passed a pretty important temperature check vote, mainly about how to adjust the multi-chain strategy for the V3 version.

Simply put, for those chains with less-than-ideal revenue performance—like Polygon, Gnosis, BNB Chain, Optimism, Scroll, Sonic, and Celo—the protocol plans to increase their Reserve Factor. These chains have been given a 12-month observation period, and if their revenue data still doesn’t improve by then, it’ll be time to consider pulling out.

More directly, zkSync, Metis, and Soneium seem likely to have their deployments shut down entirely.

In short, this move is Aave optimizing its resources—focusing attention and liquidity on chains that actually generate value, and cutting off those that are holding things back. After all, multi-chain deployment may sound cool, but if the maintenance costs don’t match the returns, it’s time to make some tough decisions.

Oh no, Polygon got called out. Is this the beginning of the end for them? --- Another chain being cut off. When will it finally be a chain that actually makes money? --- When the Reserve Factor increases, harvesting isn't far behind. The big players should get out now. --- zkSync shutting down directly? It hasn't even been online that long, L2s are really having a tough time. --- To put it bluntly, chains that run on charity should get out. Aave is realistic, I like that. --- Optimism got included too? Looks like the OP ecosystem's returns are really worrying. --- With this move, small chains are doomed. Still safer to play on mainstream chains. --- Shutting down zkSync? Those investors must be feeling terrible.

People have been saying for so long that multichain is the future, and now they're suddenly cutting it off? That's funny. Directly shutting down chains like zkSync is pretty ruthless, and it’s quite damaging to the ecosystem. By the way, can this 12-month observation period really save these chains? I doubt it.

I'm quite shocked that they just cut off zkSync and Metis... What will happen to the liquidity on these chains?

Huh? Polygon is getting axed? Now this is getting interesting. --- So the multi-chain dream is shattered, time to clean up the junk chains. --- Wait, a 12-month observation period? That's an ultimatum. "Optimization" is just a prelude to bankruptcy. --- zkSync getting delisted directly, that's a ruthless move. Some people's liquidity is about to get stuck. --- To put it bluntly, it's still the economic model that's flawed, can't blame Aave for this. --- "Declutter and let go" is the perfect phrase here; I should clean up my wallet too. --- Polygon has so many ecosystem projects, will there be chaos if they really pull out? --- "Resource optimization" sounds nice, but it really just means there's no money to support so many chains. --- Now users on those small chains are in trouble; liquidity drying up is very likely.

They're starting to cut again, and this time it's the turn of the small chains. Even Polygon is put under observation, zkSync gets delisted directly... so much for the promised multi-chain ecosystem. "Letting go" sounds nice, but honestly, it just means projects that can't generate value deserve to die.

Cutting off chains, to put it bluntly, means even Aave can’t withstand the losses anymore. Reality is harsh. Where will the liquidity from zkSync be forced to migrate to? This is the real multi-chain era—not every chain will survive. Speaking of which, will Polygon be able to withstand the test of these 12 months? Feels uncertain. Survival of the fittest seems to be happening, and it’s about time. But this is quite a blow to the ecosystem of small tokens...
