In the month since executing Gauntlet’s Dynamic Risk Parameter AIP, we have learned a lot about the preferences of the Aave community. This includes how market risk is perceived, incentive alignment for companies like ourselves, and the vision of the protocol’s future. With that new information, we have updated our priors on how we can best serve DAO.
With new assets like FRAX, potentially FEI, and others being added to V2, Gauntlet would like to propose supporting borrow caps when the protocol is upgraded. The Aave community has shown it is keen to expand the set of assets supported, and borrow caps have proven to be a key lever for Gauntlet in managing risk without adding friction to the user experience.
Gauntlet has also been researching further the Economic Optimization Function we formulated in our Aave Market Risk Assessment (see Appendix C.6). To sustain the DAO and expand Gauntlet’s impact on protocol growth, we would also like to propose supporting asset reserve factors. Our target timeline is November to publish an ARC for the community.
