## Week of September 12, 2022 ### Summary Aave planned carefully for The Merge, which — very happily — finalized without major turbulence. Below we list proposals that were recently executed, as well as those that are in discussion — which together indicate a return to normal functioning for the protocol. ### Proposals Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs): - **Re-enable ETH Borrowing** ([101](https://app.aave.com/governance/proposal/101/)). This proposal, initiated by Gauntlet, re-enables ETH borrowing on the Aave v2 Ethereum market post Merge. It follows from [AIP-97](https://app.aave.com/governance/proposal/97/), which paused borrowing ahead of the Merge. The proposal was executed on September 17 and returns the Aave market to normal conditions. As the proposer notes in an [update](https://governance.aave.com/t/arc-re-enabling-eth-borrowing-post-merge/9657/6), “So far, market conditions are trending towards a healthy state post-merge.” - **Add MaticX to Aave v3 Polygon Pool** ([100](https://app.aave.com/governance/proposal/100/)). This proposal, submitted by Llama, adds MaticX to the above mentioned pool. “MaticX is an ERC20 receipt token which represents staked MATIC and a portion of the staking rewards”; adding it to the Polygon pool allows Aave DAO “to benefit from the first mover advantage and provide an alternative to Lido’s stMATIC.” The proposal was executed on September 17. **Vote now on Snapshot** : [Whitelist Balancer’s Liquidity Mining Claim](https://snapshot.org/#/aave.eth/proposal/0xdaa660ea59f8678748d6f133d7d7ed70b941798aa9a0044a16a1285d09e26bf5) (discussion [here](https://governance.aave.com/t/arc-whitelist-balancer-s-liquidity-mining-claim/9724)). 🗣 **Provide your feedback** on these Aave Requests for Comment (ARCs): - [Add TRYB to Aave V3 on Avalanche Network, Isolation Mode](https://governance.aave.com/t/arc-add-tryb-to-aave-v3-on-avalanche-network-isolation-mode/9552) by @BiLira - [Renewal RWA Market rewards proposal (12-09-2022)](https://governance.aave.com/t/rfc-renewal-rwa-market-rewards-proposal-12-09-2022/9759) by @ImdioR - [Llama \<\> Aave](https://governance.aave.com/t/proposal-llama-aave/9682/1), by @Llamaxyz - [Chaos Labs - Risk & Simulation Platform Proposal](https://governance.aave.com/t/chaos-labs-risk-simulation-platform-proposal/9517) by @omergoldberg - [Deploy BAL to veBAL](https://governance.aave.com/t/arc-deploy-bal-to-vebal/9747) by Llamaxyz - [Strategic Partnership with Balancer Part #2](https://governance.aave.com/t/arc-strategic-partnership-with-balancer-part-2/7813) by @MatthewGraham - [Liquidity Mining Upgrade for Aave](https://governance.aave.com/t/liquidity-mining-upgrade-for-aave-arc-new-contributor-request/9751) by @loopingluis ### In the Forums **Harmony Horizon bridge exploit**. @bgdlabs [updates its thread](https://governance.aave.com/t/harmony-horizon-bridge-exploit-consequences-to-aave-v3-harmony/8614) about the effects of the exploit on the Aave V3 community. The update includes “key aspects of a potential execution” being discussed by the [Recovery ONE committee](https://governance.aave.com/t/harmony-horizon-bridge-exploit-consequences-to-aave-v3-harmony/8614/79). **Fantom freeze**. bgdlabs [confirms](https://governance.aave.com/t/arc-aave-v3-fantom-freeze-reserves/9166/15) that “the Aave Guardian has approved the transaction to freeze Aave v3 Fantom, allowing only for withdrawals, repayments, and liquidations” — following from the Snapshot vote on the [related proposal](https://snapshot.org/#/aave.eth/proposal/0xeefcd76e523391a14cfd0a79b531ea0a3faf0eb4a058e255fac13a2d224cc647) in August. **Here’s a [delegate platform thread](https://governance.aave.com/t/franklindao-prev-penn-blockchain-delegate-platform/8850/5)** in which FranklinDAO (previously @PennBlockchain) indicates how they’ve voted, and why, on each proposal. **See other delegate platforms** from @fig (Flipside Crypto), Llama, and @lucasvo in [this category](https://governance.aave.com/c/delegate-platforms/27). **Grants awarded** by the Aave Grants DAO in August have been [summarized](https://governance.aave.com/t/agd-recent-work-update-thread/9156/3).
