Many friends can't understand
@aave's leading fundraising plan "DeFi United" has already reached a net shortfall of approximately 75,081 ETH
As of now, 240.44 million USD (corresponding to the current ETH price, about 100,360+ ETH), the goal has been achieved, so why hasn't it stopped?
Mainly because some large amounts of money can't be used directly, so it will probably stay for a while:
🔹Arbitrum DAO: 30,765 ETH (frozen, now proposing to release and inject into DeFi United).
🔹Mantle: 30,000 ETH (mainly credit lines/loans, with interest and collateral conditions, not pure donations).
🔹Aave DAO: 25,000 ETH (in DAO proposal, currently voting).
🔹Stani Kulechov (founder): 5,000 ETH (personal commitment).
🔹EtherFi: 5,000 ETH (in proposal).
🔹Lido: 2,500 stETH (conditional, will only execute once others fully cover).
🔹Others: Golem, Emilio, and small amounts + LayerZero/Ethena/Frax, etc. TBD (to be decided).
So, ETH still has funds, overall, the donation progress is very fast, and this self-rescue effort by DeFi is quite efficient, with Aave's TVL outflow slowing down. The next focus shifts to the execution phase.
This is considered a major event on the ETH chain, but given the previous market enthusiasm, some meme-like projects collected donation addresses and airdropped tokens, which had very good launch effects. But in today's market, there's no need to overthink it.
