We agree with the importance of reaching critical mass and finding ways to facilitate this. While reaching critical mass is the primary concern, maintaining the peg may also play an important role in achieving this goal under the current environmental settings.
Since the increase in bucket size depends on pool liquidity targets, we believe it will not hinder growth, as it can increase quickly, given that there is pool liquidity. Therefore, we support starting with the second tier, i.e., a bucket size of $100M, originally planned one month after launch, or even $150M. This way, it can facilitate initial growth, and as mentioned, it is designed to grow quickly. The bucket size will increase once pool liquidity hits the set target.
Given the current interest rate environment, the upper limit of the proposed borrow rate (2.5%) may be less attractive. We recommend setting the borrow rate at 1.5%, which will provide a good balance between an attractive borrow rate and a sustainable one, especially in the current global market setting of growing interest rates.
Finally, regarding DEX liquidity, the proposed amounts by Aave Companies for the corresponding buckets are adequate. We will happily follow up with pool parameter recommendations once the initial bucket size is agreed upon.
