According to ChainCatcher, Vitalik Buterin replied to a post by Stani Kulechov, the founder and CEO of Aave, saying: "Congratulations on controlling the hacker losses so low! Based on a quick robot check, Aave's loss level is 50 times lower than the DeFi industry average and 250 times lower than centralized exchanges (actual annualized return of -0.01%, expected annualized return of -0.53%, expected annualized return of -2.75%). Given the recent macroeconomic and financial market instability, I believe you (and DeFi as a whole) are quite competitive in terms of tail risk in the fiat domain."
