Why DeFi giant Aave is pulling the plug on six hyped blockchains making less than $5,000 a quarter

Aave's six-chain exit proposal would freeze 25 reserves and put $4.1 million of debt on a staged wind-down path.

• Aave's risk service provider, LlamaRisk, has proposed winding down V3 deployments on six underperforming blockchains due to low revenue and high support costs.
• The proposal involves freezing reserves, redirecting interest revenue to the treasury, and gradually unwinding existing debt positions to encourage repayment.
• This move highlights Aave's focus on optimizing resource allocation and maintaining profitability within its DeFi ecosystem.
