Chaos Labs - Monthly Community Update

[ChaosLabs]

September 2023

Overview

This update highlights the past month’s activities and proposals and shares our planned work.

Highlights

• Aave V2 Markets Depreciation Plan - As part of our ongoing efforts to wind down V2 markets and promote migration to V3, Chaos Labs and Gauntlet have collaborated on a structured plan designed to progressively reduce the activity in the frozen markets by implementing a series of LT reductions. This will be done on a bi-weekly basis, where the parties will post a joint recommendation utilizing the direct-to-AIP framework.

• Chaos Labs’ CRV V2 Ethereum Deprecation Plan - On September 25th, 2023, account 0x7a16ff8270133f063aab6c9977183d9e72835428 fully repaid their loan and redeemed their entire CRV position. With this, the CRV market on Aave V2 Ethereum is now in a healthy state, with the market boasting ample on-chain liquidity to facilitate liquidations even in the face of substantial price volatility. Moving forward, to reduce governance overhead, we intend to include recommendations for further CRV LT reductions within the broader Aave V2 markets deprecation plan described above.
