:writing_hand: Forum Highlights

  • Update Aave Liquidity Committee SAFE

    The proposal aims to update the Aave Liquidity Committee (ALC) SAFE’s signer requirement from 4 of 6 to 3 of 5 members due to operational challenges and time zone differences among current members. This adjustment is intended to streamline decision-making processes, particularly as one member steps down. The community is invited to provide feedback, and following consensus, the proposal will advance to the Snapshot voting stage. For more details, you can read the full proposal here.

  • “FastPass” - A Safety Module Update

    The “FastPass” proposal suggests introducing a feature allowing certain Aave Safety Module stakers to bypass the 20-day cooldown period for a fee, enhancing liquidity and flexibility. This feature, initially for StkGHO, aims to balance additional revenue for the DAO with maintaining adequate coverage during shortfall events, by setting limits on daily withdrawals. The proposal includes risk mitigation strategies to ensure protocol safety and stability. For more details, visit the full proposal here.
