  • Onboard sUSDe to Aave V3 on Ethereum

    The proposal discusses adding sUSDe, a yield-earning synthetic dollar from Ethena, to Aave V3 on Ethereum, following positive community feedback. It emphasizes sUSDe’s potential for strong borrow demand due to its yield mechanism. Chaos Labs supports the listing, suggesting parameters for its integration while considering market risks and liquidity. The initiative aims to enhance Aave’s asset diversity and user base, pending community and snapshot approval for further action. For a detailed overview, you can read the full proposal here.

  • Risk Parameters for DAI Update

    This proposal by the Aave Chan Initiative aims to update DAI’s risk parameters across all Aave versions and networks by setting its Loan to Value (LTV) ratio to 0%. Prompted by MakerDAO’s rapid expansion of the D3M credit line for DAI, the proposal seeks to mitigate potential risks from these liquidity injections and governance decisions. It’s a preventive measure considering the low utilization of DAI as collateral and the availability of alternatives like USDC or USDT for Aave users. For more details, read the proposal here.

  • Chaos Labs Risk Oracles

    Chaos Labs proposes integrating Risk Oracles into Aave’s infrastructure to automate and optimize risk management processes across its network. This innovation aims to streamline updating on-chain risk parameters, reducing the manual workload by translating governance-approved adjustments into real-time, actionable updates. The pilot phase focuses on low-risk parameters to validate the system’s efficacy, promising enhanced efficiency and security for Aave’s ecosystem without necessitating additional governance actions for implementation. For a comprehensive overview, you can read the proposal here.
