Chaos Labs Risk Stewards - Increase Supply Caps on Aave V3 - 02.12.25

Summary

A proposal to increase MKR’s supply cap on the Ethereum Core instance. The main rationale behind such an increase is to facilitate the execution of this treasury-focused AIP by TokenLogic to allow the migration of collected aMKR (Aave V2) to aEthMKR (Aave V3), thereby creating a relatively insignificant increase, given the state of the MKR token today.

MKR (Ethereum Core)

The supply cap for MKR has reached 100% utilization, and its borrow cap is at 22%.

Supply Distribution

The top supplier holds 76% of the total distribution, posing a significant concentration risk. However, as this user is borrowing another stablecoin, USDT, and maintains a high health score of 1.94, it does not present a significant concern at this time.

The remaining top suppliers either maintain a high health score or have no borrowing activity, significantly reducing liquidation risk.

Given its status in Isolation Mode, USDC is the largest borrowed asset against MKR, accounting for approximately 93% of the total borrowed asset distribution.

Recommendation

Given user behavior and on-chain liquidity, we recommend increasing the supply cap to 23.5K MKR.
