## Summary

Following the successful [TEMP CHECK](https://snapshot.org/#/aave.eth/proposal/0x058f8e69b69a27495ee9796fc6952326d94eb24fe0071050db166d5d5e1da242) to add Aave v3 on Arbitrum, this proposal progresses the asset listing to the next stage in the Governance cycle, incorporating parameters provided by Risk Managers.

## Motivation

Adding support for ARB in Arbitrum v3 pools adds greater TVL and user experience to the increasingly popular Aave v3 Arbitrum market - and additional revenue opportunities for Aave.

By enabling borrowing, it allows users and institutions to take a unique position on this Governance token as the network matures and builds a decentralized community.

Furthermore, it more closely aligns the Aave community with Arbitrum and, by extension, Ethereum.

Additionally, it allows for creative uses of ARB received by the DAO to seed initial liquidity.

## Specifications

ARB may be listed with the following risk parameters:

| Parameter | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Isolation Mode | Yes |
| Borrowable | Yes |
| Collateral Enabled | Yes |
| Supply Cap (ARB) | 20M |
| Borrow Cap (ARB) | 16.5M |
| Debt Ceiling | $14M |
| LTV | 50.00% |
| LT | 60.00% |
| Liquidation Bonus | 10.00% |
| Liquidation Protocol Fee | 10.00% |
| Reserve Factor | 20.00% |
| Variable Base | 0.00% |
| Variable Slope1 | 7.00% |
| Variable Slope2 | 300.00% |
| Uoptimal | 45% |
| Stable Borrowing | Disabled |

Thank you to both @ChaosLabs and @Gauntlet for delivering speedy recommendations.

## Next Steps

**ARFC:** Temperature Check Snapshot indicated positive sentiment; now proceeding to the ARFC stage for further discussion, risk parameter evaluation, and finalization of the proposal.

**AIP:** If the ARFC stage Snapshot is successful, submit the proposal as an AIP for voting and on-chain governance approval.
