[ARFC ADDENDUM] Modify E-Modes for PT Token Collateral

Author: ACI & Chaos Labs

Date: 2025-05-20

Summary

This ARFC Addendum proposes an update to the Onboard Pendle PT tokens to Aave V3 Core Instance ARFC. To facilitate rollovers for the PT tokens, we propose that the underlying asset be added to the E-mode as collateral for existing and future PT tokens. The benefit of this is that at maturity, depositors can seamlessly migrate to the underlying asset and then migrate manually to the next maturity if they would like to.

Motivation

Pendle PT tokens are unique amongst Aave collateral in that they have a maturity date. At the maturity date, the PT token converts to the underlying, and depositors are likely to want to migrate to a new maturity PT token for the same asset. To work towards smoothing this migration, we propose that the underlying PT asset be added to each of the E-modes. Depositors can then migrate to the underlying and manually move to the next PT token maturity.

Specification

We propose the following E-modes to be adjusted:

PT E-mode Underlying Asset
eUSDE-29MAY2025 Stablecoins eUSDe
sUSDE-31JULY2025 Stablecoins sUSDe
USDE-31JULY2025 Stablecoins USDe
USDE-31JULY2025 USDe USDe
eUSDE-14AUG2025 Stablecoins eUSDe
eUSDE-14AUG2025 USDe eUSDe

Moreover, we recommend an adjustment of the previously recommended supply cap for the listing of eUSDe to absorb the 500M in maturing PT supply:

Asset Previously Recommended Supply Cap Recommended Supply Cap
eUSDe 150,000,000 550,000,000

That’s a nice proposal I requested couple of times without getting any feedback on it.
Given eUSDe is not listed yet on Aave, and that it is a USDe wrapper, could we add USDe as Underlying Asset to the PT-eUSDE e-Mode to allow tapping in the USDe supply lent on Aave?
