Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox.

someone just swapped $50m for $36k on cowswap through aave's frontend, effectively losing 50m if you try to make this swap on llamaswap the UI won't let you at all, buttons get locked we've spent years building a price API with the highest coverage of defi tokens to avoid this

This is insane, I've read it 20 times already and I still can't believe it. One person made a swap of 50 MILLION DOLLARS in USDT to buy the AAVE token; when you want to make big trades and there's not enough liquidity, it shows a warning saying you're accepting that, the person

The previous frontend swap on Aave had a small d**k energy hard limit of 30% slippage or the swap was reverted. Fortunately, for the low price of 8 figures of fees diverted, -60% on the token and a killed DAO. Users can now enjoy the big DeFi energy of 99% slippage.

Trader Loses Over 50 Million US Dollars in a Swap. 1. He had aEthUSDT (about 50 million US dollars) as collateral on Aave. 2. He wanted to convert it to AAVE tokens. 3. For that, an automatic swap was initiated: USDT → WETH → AAVE. In the process, about 50 million USDT

Been heads down working all day on some cool launches for my company. Made a swap this morning ($50M USDT -> AAVE) and I only got $36k worth. Anyone good at crypto know whats going on????

I read the tweet about 2637272722 pieces of $50m being swapped to Aave for 30k dollars. Thanks, folks. Now this number has become 2637272723.

Aave and Across are pointing to the same conclusion: the current DAO + token governance model cannot handle institutional growth. Efficient, centralized leadership will win.

I am not sure but I guess someone Swapped $50M on Aave to $35K awhile ago. And CT just found out about this all together all at the same time. I am not sure though.

A $50M Crypto Swap Turned Into Just $35K > a crypto wallet tried swapping about $50M worth of aUSDT for aAAVE using CoW Swap > instead of receiving millions worth of tokens, the wallet only got about $35,000 > that’s a 99%+ loss, almost the entire $50M wiped out due to slippage

Someone swapped $50.432M USDT for about $36.2K AAVE on Ethereum, routed via CoW Protocol and Sushiswap. That is a full balance sheet wipe in one click. Layer 1 is unforgiving, and @LunarCrush is right to have this trending.
