Cap Reductions
These changes reduce the protocol’s maximum exposure across the active reserves on Aave V3 Linea. Each reserve carries idle headroom between current balances and its caps. Supply caps are set to a limited margin above current outstanding supply on every reserve, and on the reserves with active borrowing (WETH, USDC, USDT, mUSD) borrow caps are brought down toward current outstanding borrowing. Existing positions remain unaffected and can be unwound at the holder’s discretion. Current outstanding balances and cap utilization are shown below; the resulting caps appear in the Specification.

Exit Liquidity
On-chain DEX liquidity for the two largest non-stablecoin reserves is thin relative to current deposits. The curves below map realized slippage against sell size, taking the best route across Linea DEX liquidity into USDC. The dashed line marks the reserve’s liquidation bonus, the slippage beyond which a liquidator selling seized collateral no longer clears the incentive.
WETH reaches its 6% liquidation bonus in slippage at approximately USD 41,000 of sell size, against USD 8.4M supplied, and exceeds 15% slippage by approximately USD 72,000.
