According to Foresight News, Vitalik Buterin commended Aave's founder and CEO, Stani Kulechov, for effectively minimizing losses from hacking incidents. Buterin noted that Aave's loss levels are significantly lower than the average in the DeFi sector, being 50 times less than the industry average and 250 times less than centralized exchanges. He highlighted that Aave's actual annualized yield stands at -0.01%, compared to an expected yield of -0.53% and -2.75% for centralized exchanges. Amid recent macroeconomic and political instability, Buterin believes Aave and the DeFi sector are competitive in managing tail risks in the fiat domain.
