🚨 BREAKING: Oracle issue on Aave Protocol triggers ~$26M liquidation
On March 10, a temporary oracle configuration issue caused abnormal liquidations involving Wrapped stETH (wstETH).
Here’s what happened 👇
• A mismatch occurred between snapshotRatio and snapshotTimestamp in the system configuration.
• The ratio update was rate-limited onchain, while the timestamp advanced normally.
• This caused the oracle to undervalue wstETH by ~2.85%.
⚠️ Result:
• ~10,938 wstETH liquidated
• ~34 accounts affected
• ~$26M liquidation volume
• ~116 ETH captured in liquidation bonuses
• ~382 ETH profit taken by third-party liquidators
