[TEMP CHECK] Add PAXG to Aave v3 Main Instance on Ethereum

Author: Trident Digital Technologies

Date: 2024-11-05

Summary

The proposal aims to onboard Paxos PAXG stablecoin, to the Aave v3 protocol Main Instance on Ethereum. $25K in lending incentives will be available over the three months following launch of the initiative, additionally further rewards may be made made available based on performance and/or utilization targets of the pool if for ex. significant TVL milestones are hit.

Motivation

PAXG, a gold backed digital currency offered by Paxos is NYDFS approved and has a multi year track record on chain. With Paxos as a centralised and trusted entity in the cryptocurrency industry, PAXG brings a unique value proposition focused as the premier on chain gold asset

Onboarding Paxos’s PAXG extends Aave Protocol’s already diverse collateral offering to its users. PAXG users on Aave Protocol will be able to utilize the value of their holdings without giving up their exposure to gold. Introducing PAXG is expected to increase liquidity and engagement within the protocol.

Onboarding PAXG aligns with Aave DAO commitment to offering diversification across widely held and in-demand resources. It will enable users to tap into Paxos’s liquidity and reputation while benefiting from Aave’s established lending and borrowing functionalities. PAXG is expected to benefit from a major integration like Aave Protocol and over time is expected to attract more mainstream users to Aave, contributing to the overall growth and adoption of both on-chain gold and the Aave protocol.
