Aave governance gets two recovery requests for misdirected UNI and [ticker USDT]

Two accidental transfers have landed on Aave Governance as recovery requests — 83.71815 UNI misdirected on BNB Smart Chain, and 1,070.21 USDT sent to the wrong address on Arbitrum. Both ask to be folded into a future Aave Rescue Mission whenever one runs.

The UNI incident happened December 10, 2024. Per the Aave Governance Forum post, the tokens hit0xfb6115445Bff7b52FeB98650C87f44907E58f802 — the Binance-Peg Aave Token (AAVE) contract on BNB Smart Chain — sent from0xf4E3DaAfE1125748e18B69e2D465775c310c324E. The UNI contract on that chain is0xbf5140a22578168fd562dccf235e5d43a02ce9b1; transaction hash0x612b90c33aba21365d8c948d2ad91a6bf2ce14dd8297c1bca676ee8825d9eb5e. The sender explains their reason for filing by quoting Aave Labs Support directly: “Following the guidance received from Aave Labs Support, I would like to register my case for consideration in a future Aave Rescue Mission.” The post is addressed to Aave Governance, BGD Labs, and relevant technical contributors.

The second request is from forum user Mark99. He sent 1,070.21 USDT on Arbitrum from a Bitget exchange account to0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9, transaction hash0x4486ddff52fe1c12976743a853b3470c08f0bb80d2ac8e1d5747905339fa6ba1. The second Aave Governance Forum post asks Aave Governance, BGD Labs, and relevant technical contributors to assess whether the USDT is even technically recoverable and, if it is, to include it in a future Rescue Mission. Mark99 makes no claim that recovery is guaranteed.

Together the two requests cover 83.71815 UNI and 1,070.21 USDT. On the stablecoin piece, CoinGecko‘s listed price of $0.999796 puts the USDT portion at roughly $1,069.99 (1,070.21 × $0.999796). No UNI price appears in the source material, so a combined dollar figure isn’t calculable from what’s available. The supplied source material contains no prior Aave Rescue Mission outcome for comparison.
