Chaos Labs Risk Stewards - Increase Supply Caps on Aave V3 - 02.18.25

Summary

A proposal to:

  • Increase osETH’s supply cap on the Aave Core instance.

All increases are backed by Chaos Labs’ risk simulations, which consider user behavior, on-chain liquidity, and price impact, ensuring that higher caps do not introduce additional risk to the platform.

osETH (Ethereum Core)

The supply cap for osETH have reached 90% utilization.

Supply Distribution

The largest supplier of osETH holds around 23% of the total supply, posing a minor concentration risk. However, since this user is borrowing WETH, the risk of liquidation is significantly reduced. The remaining top suppliers are also borrowing WETH, further minimizing liquidation risk at this time.

The largest borrowed asset against osETH is WETH, accounting for approximately 98.72% of the borrowed asset distribution, significantly reducing the likelihood of large-scale liquidations.

Liquidity

osETH’s liquidity has remained stable, with a 8K osETH sell currently incurring less than 4% price slippage.

Recommendation

Given user behavior and on-chain liquidity, we recommend increasing the supply cap by 50%.

Next Steps

We will move forward and implement these updates via the Risk Steward process.
