Aave Labs, KelpDAO, LayerZero, EtherFi, and Compound [filed](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/constitutional-aip-approve-release-of-frozen-eth/30825/37?u=aavelabs) an amended Constitutional AIP seeking to update the execution path for the previously [approved transfer](https://ethdaily.io/arbitrumdao-approves-rseth-recovery-effort) of 30,765 ETH frozen by the Arbitrum Security Council following the April 18 rsETH exploit. The amendment comes after a [May 8th court order](https://ethdaily.io/judge-clears-arbitrumdao-to-transfer-frozen-eth-to-aave-llc), which authorized the onchain transfer but required the ETH to move to a wallet controlled by Aave LLC rather than the originally proposed 3-of-4 Gnosis Safe.

The amendment only changes the recipient address and custody mechanics. The recovery objective remains the same: [restoring rsETH's backing](https://ethdaily.io/aave-defi-united-technical-implementation) within the Kelp protocol. Aave LLC will need to hold the ETH under the terms of the restraining notice from Kim v. DPRK and cannot use the funds until the court rules further. Arbitrum delegates can now vote on the amended [proposal](https://alt.gov.arbitrum.foundation/proposal/71236395575275509514809232906539225896862899916501711888027988560774655719183?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) onchain.
