No system designed for stability will overcome irrational human behavior.

You can see the funds yourself.

The money is in the computer.

Those with governance processes are kinda stuck with whatever happens.

What happens if you borrowed USDC and it de-pegs?

Remember that this governance channel has bots which automatically list new governance forum posts and Snapshot votes.

Highlights

Rescue Mission Phase 1 has been activated, as noted by @bgdlabs; @MarcZeller shares some alpha about Aave governance V3 as presented by @eboado and BGD Labs; and @AaveCompanies present highlights of recent development work.

Gauntlet has posted their take on Aave’s resilience through USDC volatility: “Aave proved resilient and the insolvency was fairly limited. However….”

You’ll note a terminology change below — TEMP CHECK — stemming from a still-active governance process change proposal.

Here’s the always excellent Aave News from Aave Grants DAO.

Highlights

@bgdlabs introduced Aave Governance V3, and a good discussion is taking place.
BGD Labs also introduced the idea of Risk Steward contracts, as a pilot program to “simplify a lot of operational/governance overhead.”
@lajarre from Butter has announced the “eight candidates that have committed to running as delegates for the Aave Delegation Campaign”; the election, which is open to AAVE and stkAAVE holders, will run from April 3 - April 9.
@Llamaxyz has initiated a temp-check discussion about whether “entities can receive payment for being both a Service Provider and a Delegate Platform.”

The Snapshot proposal to establish the community’s preference around GHO genesis parameters is live until May 3. Will it be Option A or Option B?

Week of May 1, 2023

Highlights

The AIP to upgrade the Safety Module is live until May 11 and — since its a “long executor” proposal — needs over 1M Aave to reach quorum (and differential). We’re not there yet. Participate if you can!
The Snapshot for GHO Genesis Parameters has concluded, with the community expressing preference for Option A.
Notable discussions and proposals specific to governance this week:
1. Flipside’s @fig has proposed a framework for recognized delegates
2. Flipside has also initiated discussion of a delegate Code of Conduct
3. Private voting on Snapshot has been enabled for Aave since the two-month-trial proposal passed. It will be in effect until July 5, 2023.
4. The discussion re service provider / delegate platform relationship, initiated by @Llamaxyz, continues.
5. Butter’s @noturhandle provides their first Delegate Activity Report.

Week of May 8, 2023

Highlights

The AIP to upgrade the Safety Module succeeded with well over 1M AAVE in the YAE column. Part 2 has also passed, as BGD Labs notes in the forum.
@llamaxyz has broken the original Ethereum collector contract proposal into three separate Snapshot proposals (see below).
The proposal to increase MaticX Supply Cap on Polygon v3, which was combined with a correction of the Aave Grants DAO aUSDT allowance, failed — in part due to “differing scopes” with the combined proposal, which had been put forward in this way to “reduce governance overhead.” Forum discussion here.
Gauntlet and BGD Labs highlight an important improvement to the pricing mechanism for LSTs on Aave — via the Chainlink Synchronicity Price Adapter.
@MarcZeller proposes converting Aave DAO awETH holdings to liquid staking tokens — and a spirited exchange follows.
