Incident response time (minutes)
Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-085 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Aave Guardian freeze on rsETH and wrsETH reserves across all 11 listed deployments at 18:52 UTC -- 77 minutes after the 17:35 UTC exploit (Ethereum block 24,908,285). BGD public statement within ~3 hours. Note: 18:21 UTC reference in hacksdatabase/kelp-dao-rekt.md is Kelp's own pauseAll on the OFTAdapter, not Aave's Guardian action; the two are separate multisigs on separate contracts. 77-minute multi-chain Guardian response to a cross-chain collateral contamination event is operationally strong. Green.
