[TEMP CHECK] Onboard & Enable LBTC/WBTC liquid E-Mode on Aave v3 Core Instance

[TEMP CHECK] Onboard & Enable LBTC/WBTC liquid E-Mode on Aave v3 Core Instance

Author: ACI ( Aave Chan Initiative)

Date: 2024-11-28


Summary

This proposal aims to onboard and enable LBTC/WBTC (Lombard) liquid E-Mode for the Main Instance. By implementing this change, we seek to enhance capital efficiency for borrowers using LBTC/WBTC as collateral.

Motivation

The motivation behind this proposal stems from several key factors:

  • High Utilization: LBTC/WBTC has demonstrated significant usage as collateral for borrowing stablecoins on other platforms.
  • Capital Efficiency: Enabling liquid E-Mode for LBTC/WBTC will allow borrowers to substantially improve their capital efficiency when using this asset as collateral.
  • Controlled Growth: Liquid E-Mode provides a mechanism for more precise control over the growth and borrow demand in relation to the overall stablecoin liquidity within Aave v3 on Core Instance.

By implementing this proposal, we aim to optimize the use of LBTC/WBTC within the Aave ecosystem, attracting more liquidity for the protocol and increasing revenues.

Specification

This proposal will add LBTC/WBTC liquid E-Mode. Risk Parameters will be provided by Risk Service Providers and ARFC will be updated accordingly when ARFC is posted if it passes this TEMP CHECK.

Why does ACI support this proposal, versus tBTC/WBTC E-mode which already passed temp check?

Seems like a BTC-focused E-mode would be useful across all BTC-variant collateral. Both cbBTC and tBTC are live today — does it make more sense to start there while onboarding LBTC?

Agree with @mhluongo’s point. Looks like more natural in this order.
