[ARFC] Claiming AAVE Rewards for the Sablier Legacy v1.1 Contract

Title: [ARFC] Claiming AAVE Rewards for the Sablier Legacy v1.1 Contract Author: Sablier Labs powered by @ACI Skywards Date: 2025-05-05

---

Summary

This ARFC proposes the transfer of 895.8057 AAVE (~$160K) in staking rewards from the Aave Safety Module to sablier.eth, due to the inability of Sablier’s Legacy v1.1 contract to claim them through standard mechanisms.

Motivation

Sablier Legacy v1.1 is a non-upgradeable smart contract that lacks an ERC-20 recovery or sweeping function. Over time, the contract has accrued staking rewards from participation in the Aave Safety Module. However, due to its immutable design and lack of reward-claiming logic, these tokens are currently inaccessible.

To prevent permanent loss of funds, this proposal seeks governance approval to manually transfer the AAVE rewards to the Sablier treasury (sablier.eth), ensuring recovery of assets legitimately earned.

Supporting context:

• The contract is publicly documented in Sablier’s official documentation.
• Source code is verified on Etherscan and open-source on Github.

Specification

This proposal calls claimRewardsOnBehalf() on 0xCD18eAa163733Da39c232722cBC4E8940b1D8888 and then transfer 895805689180182547296 wei of AAVE collected to sablier.eth

Disclaimer

Sablier Labs is not compensated for this proposal and presents it solely to recover unclaimable staking rewards.
