Aave Labs wants to lock down Pool accounting with a transient storage guard, though the proposal still needs audits and a governance vote Aave Labs wants to change the locks before anyone tries the door. On October 21, 2026, the team published a proposal for Aave V3.8, an upgrade centered on adding a reentrancy guard to Pool accounting. The proposal would cover 16 active Aave V3 instances, including deployments on Ethereum , Avalanche , BNB and Polygon. Nothing has shipped yet, and no exploit prompted it. Aave is patching a risk, not cleaning up after one.
