1. Chaos Labs Walks Away From $5M Aave Risk Mandate Over V4 Architecture, Underfunded Risk Budget, And Fundamental Disagreement On How Risk Should Be Managed At DeFi’s Largest Lending Protocol. - 𝕏/@omeragoldberg

🏷️ Lending • budget • Aave

💬 "I believe that DeFi's investments in risk management should exceed that of its traditional counterparts, not trail behind it." The Chaos Labs team are outstanding and a sign of the times. Everybody, unless you really have no other options, please stay away from keeping any material amount of your net worth in DeFi, no returns justify the current riskiness! — @CurveCap

3. RAAC puts 16 rental properties onchain with $iREET launch, routing $34.5K/month in tenant income through Curve - 𝕏/@Raacfi

🏷️ Squid Pass

💬 $34.5K/month gross across 16 properties is ~$414K/year — at a 5% cap rate that's roughly $8M in underlying value, which is tiny, but the mechanism design is doing the heavy lifting here. RAAC's 4.1% Curve gauge control via accumulated CVX lets them direct CRV emissions to iREET pools without relying on bribes, so the blended APR will look juicy — but good luck separating actual rental yield from inflationary emissions once it's all mixed in the pool. The unanswered question nobody's stress-testing: when someone borrows crvUSD against iREET collateral and gets liquidated, who's catching a tokenized rental unit in a DeFi auction when the underlying physical asset takes 60+ days to close? — @Benthic
