  • stkGHO Incentives
    • Summary: The proposal aims to amend the distribution of AAVE emissions within the Safety Module to enhance the stability of the GHO token.

The objective is to better support the GHO peg and facilitate the expansion of its supply.

:writing_hand: Forum Highlights

  • Aave 3.1 Cantina competition

    The proposal involves hosting a “Cantina competition” as part of the security measures for Aave v3.1, with a total budget of $195,000, allocated as $150,000 for prizes and $45,000 for platform and judging fees. This open security contest aims to ensure Aave v3.1’s robustness by encouraging bug discoveries and improvements through public participation, enhancing pre-production security.

  • Deprecation of Small-cap Stablecoins on V2 Ethereum

    The proposal outlines the deprecation of small-cap stablecoins USDP, GUSD, LUSD, FRAX, and sUSD on Aave V2 due to their limited liquidity and vulnerability to price manipulation. It suggests adjusting financial parameters like Reserve Factor and Base Rate to discourage borrowing and encourage loan repayment, while also planning to keep these coins frozen to prevent new supplies and borrowings.

  • aAMPL Second Distribution

    The proposal recommends a second distribution of 758,000 stablecoins to allow aAMPL suppliers on Aave v2 Ethereum to fully withdraw their funds. This follows an initial distribution addressing an inflation issue with AMPL balances. The proposal aims for full compensation using claimable stablecoins, ensuring equitable treatment for affected users, with the distribution to be managed via the Merkle platform.
