Update on Ren:
We will soon begin our first major decentralization step for the Ren protocol, where the nodes in charge of the security and operation of RenVM are no longer operated by the team, but by critical DeFi projects in the crypto space which are fully aligned in making sure RenVM is as safe as possible (announcements from these DAOs/institutions will roll out over time).
After our partners have been running RenVM and the whole system has been battletested and further audited, RenVM will transition into a fully decentralized network where all the community-run nodes take part in all RenVM processes. Currently we have have 1974 community nodes up and running, powering RenVM’s peer-to-peer network, which will continue to grow and make RenVM a vast global network resilient against all kinds of events.
With that said, it would be greatly appreciated if Aave community members would consider listing renBTC in the Aave protocol, which we have seen a lot of demand for. Initially, renBTC can be listed with similar parameters as renFIL, meaning borrowing and lending possible while collateralization using renBTC can be explored later. Starting with only lending and borrowing would pose no protocol risk to the Aave.
If anyone is willing to help set up a on-chain proposal for that, that would be greatly appreciated!
