Babylon Foundation committed $3 million in USDT to the Aave protocol to strengthen liquidity within the DeFi ecosystem, responding to the instability that followed the shock triggered by the KelpDao exploit and the rsETH token across major decentralized lending platforms. The allocation will be distributed between Aave V3, which will receive $2 million, and version V4, which will receive the remaining million.
The scheme includes a particular clause: 100% of the interest generated by the deposit will not be retained by the foundation, but will instead be reinvested into joint incentive programs tied to a planned integration between Aave and Babylon. In this way, the same capital acts as immediate liquidity support and as an engine of future adoption within the protocol.
The decision aligns with Babylon’s core strategy, oriented toward incorporating native Bitcoin into the DeFi ecosystem, positioning the foundation as an active participant in the sector’s stability. It also aligns with Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave, and the “DeFi United” campaign, an open initiative that seeks to channel resources to restore confidence around rsETH and promote safer practices across the decentralized ecosystem.
