PANews reported on April 21 that, according to Cryptopolitan, after the Kelp DAO vulnerability, which resulted in a $292 million loss and a drop in Aave's total value locked (TVL) from $26.4 billion to approximately $17 billion, questions have arisen regarding whether DeFiLlama's Aave TVL data was inflated due to revolving lending. DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi responded that revolving lending does not cause inflated data because borrowed tokens are deducted from the TVL. DeFiLlama had previously discovered that Ethena's deposits of collateral into Aave led to users engaging in revolving lending, causing an inflated TVL, and has created a custom exception to completely remove the TVL deposited by Ethena from Aave's data. 0xngmi stated that his TVL data has been freed from the impact of revolving lending.
