Hello Aave Governance,

Following the guidance received from Aave Labs Support, I would like to register my case for consideration in a future rescue mission.

I accidentally transferred 0.06872349 WBTC directly to the aWBTC contract on Arbitrum instead of using the “Supply” function in the Aave App.

Transaction Hash:  
0x660fe7b3a52e292f7de32bf292d409a2a127228968cdf7b765cfc81568f58047

Sender Wallet:  
0xB74285439139fa4Cf76fF1e0C36FeB8e6Fcd3AC9

Recipient Contract:  
0x078f358208685046a11C85e8ad32895DED33A249

I mistakenly copied the aWBTC token contract address and sent WBTC directly from MetaMask, believing I was depositing my funds into Aave.

If any additional information or proof is required, I will be happy to provide it.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

Leo Inoue

Thank you. Regards
