<p class="is-style-lead">An Aave fork on Blast network liquidated user positions worth over $26 million due to an erroneous threshold change.</p> 
<p>Pac Finance, an iteration of decentralized finance (defi) lender Aave on Coinbase’s layer-2 chain Blast, attempted to adjust its loan-to-value (LTV) parameters on April 11. Instead, the Aave fork unknowingly reduced its liquidation threshold.</p> 
<p>The result was a sweeping wipeout of Ether-collateralized (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="">ETH</a>) positions on the platform. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/wilburforce_/status/1778426380608307538" target="_blank" rel="">Will Sheehan,</a>&nbsp;Founder of block explorer Parsec, one user lost up to $24 million due to the Aave fork incident on Blast. On-chain analytics also showed participants thousands of dollars in losses denominated in ezETH.</p>

<p>To avoid further mishaps, Aave promised to set up a community forum to discuss future upgrades and changes to its defi lending protocol. Pac Finance added that it intends to deploy a governance contract to reaffirm transparency and repair user trust.</p>
