Kulechov explained that these would be returned to the user. The reason: The trade clearly did not go as intended and caused enormous damage, which Aave does not want to profit from.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We sympathize with the user and will try to contact them; furthermore, we will refund the 600,000 dollars in fees collected as part of the transaction.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While they have followed the industry standard and accepted users&#8217; free choices so far, Aave now wants to implement additional security mechanisms to prevent such damage in the future.<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"20572\" data-bid=\"1\" data-placement=\"33872\">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<\/script><h2>Slippage: How to avoid losses in DeFi<\/h2>\n<p>The term slippage describes an important element of DeFi that users should always keep in mind. In German, it can be translated as &#8220;Abweichung.&#8221; Due to the decentralized nature of dApps, various factors can cause slippage. This results in the user receiving less in return than they would normally be entitled to.<\/p>\n<p>Low liquidity can lead to enormous slippage when swapping between different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-are-cryptocurrencies-explanation-for-beginners\/\">cryptocurrencies<\/a> \u2013 which is exactly what happened in this case. The unknown user wanted to purchase 50 million US dollars&#8217; worth of aEthAAVE, but the CoW Protocol only had 36,000 US dollars in coverage at that time. As a result, no higher amount could be paid out to the trader.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the warning, the unknown person went ahead with the unfair swap. They may have misunderstood the automated warnings provided by the system. Swapping 50 million US dollars in a single trade is considered unwise.<\/p>\n<p>Large amounts should be split up and swapped gradually over a longer period. In addition to a lack of liquidity, a sudden high demand can also lead to unnecessary price increases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using the popular lending platform Aave, a trader lost 50 million US dollars they planned to invest within seconds.
