Voting Actions - December 11th – December 15th
Proposal: [ARFC] Onboarding sfrxETH to Aave V3 Ethereum Market
Vote: Aggressive Option
Reasoning: We supported this proposal on TEMP CHECK, and the reasoning can be found here
Proposal: [ARFC] Continuous Security Proposal Aave <> Certora
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support this proposal as Certora is a valuable partner with a pristine tracking record with Aave DAO.
Proposal: [TEMP CHECK] AAVE V3 Harmony Recovery ONE Proposal
Vote: Nae
Reasoning: Our understanding is that the incident holds no relationship with Aave protocol itself, as the price oracles were not controlled by Aave, so we don’t support this proposal of spending the treasury money to redeem bad debt.
Proposal: [ARFC] TokenLogic & karpatkey Service Provider Partnership
Vote: Abstain
Reasoning: We are a co-author of this proposal and have abstained from casting a vote.
Proposal: [ARFC]. BGD. Security budget request - December 2023
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support this budget request focused on new reviews and audits, a critical process for the protocol’s security. The asks are on par with general market prices, and the companies (and individuals) are best in class.
Proposal: Chaos Labs RF and IR Updates - Aave V2 Ethereum
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support the increase of the IR and RF for these assets. We would like to see a more proactive approach to assessing the deprecation of all assets on v2 markets, not only the frozen ones.
Proposal: Transfer AURA to GLC Safe
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: This is an operational transfer to enable the GLC to start to use the Aura acquired on this proposal
Proposal: GHO update on Aave V3 Ethereum Pool for 13/11/2023 Report
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: This is a permanent fix for the bug reported on 13/11 on Immunify. We support the implementation, confident that it was thoughtfully reviewed, as Certora also contributed to building the solution.
Proposal: Gauntlet recommendation to reactivate CRV borrowing on v3
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: The risk associated with this asset decreased, and it makes sense to unfreeze it on v3 with the new parameters (a much more conservative exposure to the asset).
Proposal: Sync emergency admin on v2 AMM
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support this proposal to make the emergency admin address on the deprecated Aave v2 AMM pool with the one of Aave v2 and v3 Ethereum. It is an operational change, and we want to highlight the good job @BGDLabs does in maintaining the protocol.
Proposal: Activate Proof of Reserve
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support this proposal, as it adds another security layer to the price feed on bridge assets. It will become increasingly difficult to manage both versions (v2 and v3) with the constant improvement of v3. The DAO should consider increasing the efforts to deprecate v2.
Proposal: Treasury Management - Add to rETH Holding (resubmission)
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We supported this proposal on the ARFC stage, and the reasoning can be found here.
Proposal: Chaos Labs V2 Ethereum and Polygon LT Reductions
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We supported this proposal, but moving forward, karpatkey will become more attentive to LT reductions as we believe that a combination of RF and IR raising has an improved impact on users’ behaviour and does not suddenly liquidate (borrowers) who don’t follow the governance forum. As the main goal is to migrate users and not liquidate their position, we should use different parameters.
Proposal: Increase Polygon wstETH Supply Cap
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support this proposal to increase the wstETH supply cap, as there was a governance gove where the community expressed the option that it was acceptable to have up to 75% of the supply cap of an LST to meet the ongoing market demand for depositing. This increase will enable new Aave users to join Aave V3 on Polygon and allow existing users to expand their positions.
Proposal: Increase GHO Borrow Rate 100 bps to ~6.41% on Aave V3
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support this proposal to increase the interest in minting GHO. This strategy is showing results, helping to restore the peg. Let’s assess the results to verify what the next move is.
Proposal: TokenLogic & karpatkey Service Provider Partnership
Vote: Abstain
Reasoning: We are a co-author of this proposal and have abstained from casting a vote.
Proposal: Polygon V2 Reserve Factor Updates
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support the proposal, but to encourage lenders’ migration, the increase should be higher and coupled with IR increases that act on the demand side.
Proposal: Onboard Native USDC to Aave V3 Markets
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support onboarding native USDC on these chains as preparation for deprecating the bridged version.
Proposal: Transfer all CRV positions from Ethereum Mainnet Collector to GLC Safe
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support this proposal. It sends CRV tokens to the Liquidity committee, enabling it to manage them according to the more suitable incentive strategy for Aave assets on Curve.
Proposal: Request for Bounty Payout - December 2023
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: Bug bounties are crucial to keep the protocol’s security in check. We support this proposal for this request for the payout to white hats that found issues on Aave’s smart contracts/user interfaces.
Proposal: Treasury Management - Polygon v2 to v3 Migration
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: The Aave DAO should lead by example wherever possible and karpatkey supports the migration of treasury assets from v2 to v3, as this aligns with intending to deprecate Aave v2.
Proposal: Aave Governance V3 Activation Short
Vote: Yae
Reasoning: We support the activation of v3 governance on Aave. It is a major step regarding security and reliability.
