[ARFC Addendum] Increase Supply and Borrow Caps for weETH
Title: [ARFC Addendum] Increase Supply and Borrow Caps for weETH
Date: 2024-05-21
Author: @ACI
Summary
This proposal asks for governance approval to raise the supply caps for weETH to accommodate growing demand. The goal is to balance risk with profitability, ensuring sustainable growth and optimized revenue.
Motivation
weETH has been consistently hitting its current supply cap, reflecting substantial market demand. Increasing the cap will provide more liquidity for users, leading to higher borrow volumes and enhanced protocol revenue.
However, some voices from the community raised concerns about the speed of growth of weETH in the aave ecosystem and would like a slowed-down approach to allow the Etherfi & LRTs ecosystem to gain maturity.
Specification
We propose governance to greenlight the Risk Stewards to raise caps according to market conditions and risk tolerance up to newly defined ceilings, with an aggressive or conservative approach.
- Aggressive Approach: Increase weETH caps up to 1M weETH
- Conservative Approach: Increase weETH caps up to 500K weETH
The implementation of new caps will be done via Risk Steward.
