On April 7, Chaos Labs announced that it will cease its role as a core participant in the Aave ecosystem after three years of operation. The team stated that fundamental disagreements over "risk management approaches" have continued to deepen as the protocol develops. Chaos Labs highlighted three main reasons:

· The loss of key participants has significantly increased operational pressure and risk.

· Aave V4 expands the scope of risk management, increasing operational and legal burdens.

· Long-term participation was operating at a loss, and even with increased budgets, profitability remains difficult to achieve.

The team stated that the current path either requires lowering performance standards or continuing to incur losses, both of which are unacceptable, leading to the decision to exit.
