Sts/wS renewal will be on hold relative to the Balancer hack and the decision of @ChaosLabs to reduce the supply cap update. The current incentive round (Oct 31 - Nov 7) will be distributed as usual.

Chaos Labs’ post: [Chaos Labs Risk Stewards - Decrease Supply Caps on Aave V3 - 11.03.25](https://governance.aave.com/t/chaos-labs-risk-stewards-decrease-supply-caps-on-aave-v3-11-03-25/23349)

Reminder: this incentive is financed by Aave DAO through its budget + GEM airdrop
