Aave V3.8 Launches on 15 Aave V3 Markets, Introducing Reentrancy Protection

November 12: Aave has announced that, with approval from the Aave DAO, Aave V3.8 is now live on 15 Aave V3 markets. Developed by Aave Labs with security as its core focus, this version primarily introduces a reentrancy protection mechanism based on transient storage (EIP-1153), designed to safeguard the Pool's accounting consistency during external callbacks and multiple interactions within a single transaction, reducing the risk of reentrancy attacks with relatively low additional gas overhead. The upgrade covers active instances on markets including Ethereum (Core and Lido), Plasma, Avalanche, BNB, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Optimism.
