> The request came a day after StakeWise sought a separate vote on osETH. A Nov. 9 snapshot listed $81.8 million in rETH collateral against $35.4 million in debt.

Rocket Pool asked Aave on Nov. 12 to remove rETH from a V3 Core cleanup proposal and assess it separately; the plan would restrict new borrowing against affected assets.

Rocket Pool General Manager Darren made the request in an Aave governance post. “We ask that it be removed from this ARFC and assessed on its own against the Aave Risk Framework,” Darren wrote. His request covers removal from the broader ARFC, not only an exemption from the proposed freeze.

The request followed a separate-vote request on osETH from StakeWise founder Dmitri on Nov. 11. Dmitri asked for a separate vote on freezing StakeWise’s overcollateralized staked Ether token (osETH). The two requests seek different procedural changes: StakeWise asked to split the osETH freeze into a separate vote, while Rocket Pool asked for rETH to leave the ARFC and receive its own risk assessment.

LlamaRisk’s proposal would refocus Aave V3 Core on established, liquid collateral and gradually freeze selected assets and smaller reserves. Its Nov. 9 snapshot lists $81.8 million in rETH collateral backing $35.4 million in debt across 317 borrowing positions. The debt is mostly stablecoins.

Under the proposed initial measures, Aave would stop new supply and borrowing against affected assets and set their loan-to-value ratios to zero. Existing positions would remain open. LlamaRisk proposed working with issuers and large borrowers on migration, while holders could repay, withdraw or migrate their positions.

The proposal lists no vote date. If approved, the initial measures would be submitted as an Aave Improvement Proposal.
