title: [ARFC] GHST Polygon V3 “Soft Freeze”

## **Summary**

GHST is the native asset of the Aavegotchi ecosystem. This ARFC proposes new risk parameters for GHST following the deprecation of the “Bonding Curve,” which has created a new risk profile for the asset.

## **Abstract**

This ARFC presents the Aave governance with an opportunity to change GHST risk parameters for Aave Polygon V3 Liquidity pool.

## **Motivation**

GHST is the native asset of the Aavegotchi ecosystem. This ARFC proposes new risk parameters for GHST following the deprecation of the “Bonding Curve,” which created a new risk profile for the asset and is expected to increase its volatility.

Previously, GHST was minted and burned on an ETH L1 bonding curve contract, which lowered its volatility. However, with the deprecation of the curve, a “Soft Freeze” of the GHST asset on Aave V3 Polygon is proposed to allow for a conservative reaction to this new risk profile.

Once the bonding curve is deprecated and more market data is available on the risk profile of GHST, Aave governance will have in a few weeks/months a stronger basis to assess and provide updated risk parameters for the GHST asset.

This ARFC is compliant with the “Direct-to-AIP” governance framework and if a risk service provide team provide positive feedback on it, will be directly escalated to AIP stage tomorrow.

Gauntlet supports a temporary freeze but is continuing to analyze the market. We will let the community know should unfreezing be prudent.
