What happened

What changed

Aave Labs proposes using transient storage to protect Pool accounting during repeated interactions within a transaction.

What did not change

Aave Labs stated on October 23 that both flash-loan functions would remain outside the guard.

Confirmed

• Aave Labs proposes the safeguard for active deployments across Ethereum and the other networks named in its proposal.
• Aave Labs plans audits by Certora and third parties before submitting an on-chain upgrade proposal.
• Aave Labs states that the proposed guard preserves integrations that use flash loans.

Still open

• The proposal does not establish completed audits, on-chain approval, or deployment.

What it means for an advisor

• Ketju should review audit findings and the final upgrade scope before changing the memo's description of Pool accounting safeguards.
• The proposal supports no change to the current approval or withdrawal assumptions.
