$SOL Solana Prepares to Help Aave in Its Time of Need – They Have Made an Official Announcement $AAVE
As the recovery process in the DeFi ecosystem expands following the KelpDAO-related rsETH crisis, a notable show of support has come from the Solana Foundation. The foundation announced it will contribute to the recovery efforts by providing USDT to the Aave platform for the first time.
Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation, stated that this step was taken not only to support Aave but also for the overall health of the DeFi ecosystem. Liu said, “Economies are not isolated. For Solana to be healthy, all of DeFi needs to be healthy.”
According to the announcement, the Solana Foundation is participating in a large-scale rescue initiative called “DeFi United” by lending its USDT reserves to Aave for the first time. This initiative previously aimed to close the rsETH collateral gap with a 25,000 ETH contribution proposal from the Aave DAO and support from various ecosystem players.
