Aave upgraded its savings GHO product to a new ERC-4626-compliant vault. The savings yield now accrues directly in the share-to-asset conversion rate with no weekly Merkl claims, no lockup period, and no rehypothecation of deposited funds. sGHO is a yield-bearing token that accrues interest over time.

The upgrade also brings GhoRouter, a stateless routing contract that enables USDC-to-sGHO conversions in a single transaction. ERC-4626 allows DeFi protocols to build on top of any vault without needing custom integrations. Legacy stkGHO holders must migrate manually, as rewards on the old contract will be reduced over a seven-week transition schedule. sGHO positions are viewable through Aave Pro.

Aave has integrated Chainlink Smart Value Recapture (SVR) into its V4 Ethereum Core market. Chainlink SVR is a specialized oracle solution that enables DeFi protocols to reclaim non-toxic Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) generated through Chainlink Price Feeds. The integration allows Aave to recapture liquidation-related MEV that was previously extracted by block builders.

Developed in collaboration with BGD Labs, Flashbots, and other Aave DAO contributors, Chainlink SVR leverages Chainlink Price Feeds and Flashbots' MEV-Share to redirect value back to DeFi protocols. Chainlink SVR on Aave V3 has already generated $11 million for the Aave DAO treasury since March 2025. Aave has separately restored WETH market parameters across V3 deployments affected by the rsETH incident.

KelpDAO unpaused rsETH withdrawals, bridging, and claims as part of a coordinated restart following the protocol's recovery from the April 18th exploit. Exchange rates will be updated around 4:30 pm CET on May 15th, at which point accrued staking rewards for rsETH holders during the pause will be reflected. rsETH is now fully backed thanks to funds raised from DeFi United.

Aave has simultaneously unpaused rsETH across its Ethereum Core, Arbitrum, Base, Linea, and Mantle markets. Deposits remain closed pending a brief stabilization window, and the remaining rsETH tranches will be sent over to fully refill the LayerZero lockbox. Utilization rates across affected markets remain elevated.
