Aave founder says V3 unaffected after third-party adapter exploit drains $305K

Aave founder Stani Kulechov said Aave v3 was unaffected by an exploit that drained roughly $305,000 from two Safe multisig wallets through a third-party adapter built on top of the lending protocol.　　“This is not Aave v3 contract, its third party external adapter built on top of Aave, zero effect on Aave v3,” Kulechov said on X.　　Blockchain security firm SlowMist said the attack targeted a module used to open and close leveraged Aave v3 positions through Safe wallets. The attacker exploited an access-control flaw that allowed a fake Safe contract to pass the adapters authorization check.　　SlowMist said the adapter also allowed the caller to control the router and transaction data used for swaps. The attacker used that functionality to execute transactions through the victim Safes and drain weETH and collateral.　　Around 1,300 wrapped Ether (WETH) in debt was repaid during the attack to unlock collateral, according to SlowMist. The attacker ultimately stole about 114.09 Ether (ETH), worth roughly $305,000, from two Safe multisigs.　　The security firm identified the vulnerable FlashLoopAdapter contract and the attackers wallet but did not report any losses to Aave v3 itself.　　Related: Aave launches V4 on Avalanche, laying groundwork for tokenized credit markets

Blast to wind down Ethereum L2 after costs outpace revenue

Ethereum layer-2 network Blast is shutting down after its operating costs exceeded the revenue generated by the chain.　　In a Friday post on X, Blast said it sees no “credible path” to making the network economically sustainable and asked users to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet.　　“We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers,” the team said. “Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense.”　　Source: Blast　　The network will reduce its withdrawal delay to 24 hours, though withdrawals will be temporarily unavailable while Blast unwinds its Lido assets, a process expected to take about a week.　　Users will have until Oct. 26 to withdraw through Blasts interface. After that, assets will remain accessible, but withdrawals will require users to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum.　　Blast said it will publish instructions for withdrawing directly through the bridge contracts ahead of the Oct. 26 cutoff and urged users to move their assets to Ethereum mainnet before then.　　Related: Stablecoins can drain from banks and nations at lightning speed　　Blast emerged from Blurs NFT boom　　Blast was founded by Tieshun “Pacman” Roquerre, the founder of NFT marketplace Blur, which launched in October 2022 and quickly challenged

Anchorage Digital reportedly cuts 17% of staff amid crypto downturn

Anchorage Digital has reportedly cut 17% of its workforce after securing a $100 million Tether investment earlier this year.　　The Information reported on Oct. 2, citing people familiar with the matter, that McCauley had told employees about the layoffs during the week. The report placed the reduction against a prolonged downturn in crypto markets.　　Anchorage Digitals reported cuts could affect about 68 jobs　　In congressional testimony in February, McCauley put Anchorages global workforce at approximately 400 employees. Applying the reported 17% reduction to that figure would amount to about 68 positions, provided the companys headcount had stayed near the same level.　　The February figure covers employees globally, so the calculation represents a possible company-wide reduction rather than a confirmed number of U.S. job losses.　　According to the supplied report, Anchorage received a $4.2 billion valuation earlier this year. The workforce reduction follows both that valuation and fresh investment from Tether, which already works with Anchorage through its U.S.-focused stablecoin, USAT.　　The Information cited weak crypto markets as the backdrop to the cuts. The supplied account also noted that Bitcoin briefly recovered above $87,000 on Friday but remained below its $126,000 peak from October 2025.　　Tether invested $100 million after USATs launch　　Earlier coverage by crypto.news recorded Anchorages $100
