Fact Check
The strongest available evidence is the traced primary-source URL, Marc Zeller X post, which directly underlies the Odaily item. Although the X page could not be fetched, the trace from Odaily to https://x.com/Marczeller/status/2045602639723868619 strongly indicates source provenance. The fetched secondary report, Marc Zeller: Proposal to terminate the ACI Frontier project | Bitget News, closely matches the user’s statement: it says Zeller proposed terminating the ACI Frontier project, exiting Ethereum staking node operations, and providing all ETH to Aave DAO to protect wETH depositors. A separate search snippet for Aave Chan Initiative Halts Frontier Staking Service Amid Risks independently echoes the same rsETH-related risk and immediate-termination framing, though that page could not be fetched and thus carries less weight. Overall, the claim in the content field is well supported, but confidence is limited by the inability to directly fetch the X primary source.

Summary

Aave Chan Initiative founder Marc Zeller said ACI immediately terminated the Frontier staking service plan due to risks related to rsETH. He said all ETH staked through Frontier will be fully exited and handed to Aave DAO if necessary to protect wETH depositors. This adds an official response element to earlier concerns that WETH on Aave could become unavailable for withdrawal, though no figures or timeline for the exit process were provided in the new content.
