Franklin Templeton: a DeFi hack will not only hurt the hacked protocol, but the broader ecosystem. "Even if your protocol was completely buttoned up and sound, there is that contagion or headline risk associated with an incident elsewhere in DeFi - because it is all connected." A bridge hack hits Kelp. TVL drops in Aave. Looping strategies across multiple protocols unwind. This is the hidden risk of composability - the upside is also the attack surface.

This past week, @Aave Horizon proved that there is continued demand for RWA markets. TVL has been steadily climbing and crossed back over half a billion today, remaining the largest market for permissioned RWAs. https://t.co/WkyLUf8WPc

DeFi is moving away from shared pools toward isolated markets and vaults. The trend is clear: > @Morpho's vault-first design and isolation > @eulerfinance's V2 vault architecture > @sparkdotfi's segmented strategies > @0xFluid’s vault system Now, the largest DeFi protocol is taking it one step further: @aave v4 via Hub & Spokes, combining the isolation component with shared liquidity. V4 will be huge for institutional and curator onboarding.

I can’t not mention the excellently written article by @smykjain and how extremely interesting and relevant the information is right now I wish I could write like that too hehe "The biggest feature of any financial protocol is its security, ensuring robustness in all circumstances and minimizing potential losses in worst-case scenarios. One simple way to do this can be found in traditional finance with daily spending limits, and other methods of monitoring the movement of large funds. We saw DeFi protocols adopt something similar with debt ceilings and other limitations placed on the protocol. For example, MakerDAO uses a debt ceiling to mitigate their risk exposure to various assets. We observed a similar approach extended with Aave v3 isolation mode, as well as with Compound v3 and Aave v3, which imposed restrictions on the supply amount limiting the risk of supplied assets. One challenge in implementing limits is that these measures often require active management. Fluid's Liquidity Layer introduces Au
