Snapshot Votes
[TEMP CHECK] Deploy Aave v3 on Mantle
Vote Cast: YAE
Supporting this deployment. Mantle is a strong ecosystem and proposed some solid liquidity commitments this coupled with the user base from Bybit makes the Mantle deployment a great opportunity for Aave.
[ARFC] Add rlUSD to Core Instance
Vote Cast: YAE
Supporting this onboarding, rlUSD is the stablecoin from Ripple and has already received a NYFDS approval. This onboarding will widen the stablecoin landscape on Aave with a new strong contender.
[ARFC]. BGD. Aave v3.3 Sherlock contest
Vote Cast: YAE
We fully support this proposal, as we believe conducting this audit prior to the deployment of Aave v3.3 is essential. Aave consistently upholds the highest security standards, and this audit aligns perfectly with those principles.
[TEMP CHECK] Deploy Aave on Rootstock Network
Vote Cast: YAE
We fully support this deployment. As the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to grow rapidly, Aave’s expansion to the most battle-tested Bitcoin Layer 2 presents an excellent opportunity to tap into this evolving landscape.
[TEMP CHECK] Add EURC to BASE Aave V3 Instance
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this onboarding, as we believe it has the potential to attract a new wave of Europe-based users to Aave.
[ARFC] Extend GHO Steward on Aave Prime Instance
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this proposal, as we were directly involved in its development. Extending the GHO Steward to the Prime Instance will foster GHO’s growth through a more modular approach.
[ARFC] Prime Instance - wstETH Borrow Rate + rsETH Supply Cap Update
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this update. By lowering the wstETH borrow rate, this initiative will drive growth for the Prime Instance, encouraging new LRT deployments and positioning it as the leading platform for LRT/LST looping strategies in the market.
[ARFC] Whitelist Balancer DAO to Claim Liquidity Mining Rewards
Vote Cast: YAE
We fully support this proposal. With the launch of Balancer v3, boosted pools will rehypothecate LP tokens to Aave, enabling the generation of additional yield. For some LPs, Balancer will need to manage the claiming of liquidity mining rewards for redistribution to liquidity providers.
[TEMP CHECK] Aave <> Chainlink SVR v1 integration
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this proposal. The SVR program has been in development for quite some time, and we’re excited to see it go live, enhancing and optimizing Aave’s liquidation process to its fullest potential.
[TEMP CHECK] Joint Incentive Program With Polygon
Vote Cast: NAE
We are not supporting this proposal. While this proposal provides an opportunity to collaborate and strengthen ties, we recommend focusing on growth initiatives tied to new Aave deployments. Our comment on the applicable thread can be found [here[([TEMP CHECK] Joint Incentive Program With Polygon - #10 by Kene_StableLab).
[ARFC] Sunset stMATIC on Polygon instance
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this proposal. In light of Lido’s decision to sunset stMATIC, it is logical for Aave to align with this move and begin phasing out the stMATIC reserve on the Polygon instance.
[ARFC] Add EURC to BASE Aave V3
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this onboarding, as we believe it has the potential to attract a new wave of Europe-based users to Aave.
[ARFC] Deploy stataUSDC and stataUSDT GSMs on Ethereum
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this proposal. Deploying stataToken GSMs will enable the DAO to generate passive yield on idle stablecoins while also accelerating GHO growth by making the GSMs more capital-efficient.
[ARFC] wstETH Borrow Rate Update
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this proposal, as we anticipate it will drive the adoption of LRTs across multiple Aave instances.
[TEMP CHECK] Onboard pufETH to Aave V3 Core Instance
Vote Cast: NAE
We do not support this onboarding. As new LRTs are introduced to Aave, the strategy focuses on deploying them with eModes utilizing wstETH debt on Prime. Onboarding pufETH on Core would grant access to WETH, which is not aligned with this approach. We will closely monitor the ARFC and await input from the Risk providers on this matter. Should this change, we are open to shifting our vote at the ARFC stage.
[ARFC] sUSD Risk Parameter Adjustment
Vote Cast: YAE
We are in favor of this adjustment.
AIP Votes
Proposal to Remove USDS from sUSDe Liquid E-Mode in Aave Prime Instance
Vote Cast: YAE
We supported this proposal. USDS on the Prime instance uses SKY’s D3M to provide direct liquidity, key to attracting WETH and wstETH deposits. However, adding USDS to the sUSDe Liquid E-Mode has driven looping strategies, causing interest rate spikes that negatively impact ETH-collateralized borrowers.
Aave v3 Gnosis Instance Updates Part 1
Vote Cast: YAE
We voted in favor of this proposal and are keen to see growth of the Gnosis Instance.
Deploy 10M GHO into Aave v3 Lido Instance
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this deployment as it will provide the initial liquidity for GHO on the Prime instance, enhancing the DAO’s capital efficiency.
Aave v3.3 Sherlock contest funding
Vote Cast: YAE
We fully support this funding, as we believe conducting this audit prior to the deployment of Aave v3.3 is essential. Aave consistently upholds the highest security standards, and this audit aligns perfectly with those principles.
Funding Proposal: karpatkey as GHO Growth Service Provider
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this funding and are excited to see GHO’s growth on Gnosis Chain.
Onboard ezETH to Arbitrum and Base Instances
Vote Cast: YAE
We voted in favour of this onboarding and are keen to see Renzo’s growth on Arbitrum and Base Instances.
Onboard sUSDe and weETH to Aave v3 on zkSync
Vote Cast: YAE
We voted in favour of this onboarding and are keen to see Ethena and Etherfi’s growth on zkSync Instance.
a.DI Celo path activation
Vote Cast: YAE
We voted in favor of this proposal, as it lays the groundwork for Aave’s future expansion on Celo.
Onboard LBTC & Enable LBTC/WBTC liquid E-Mode on Aave v3 Core Instance
Vote Cast: YAE
We voted in favour of this onboarding. LBTC is the strongest BTC LRT on the market and we are keen to see its growth on the Core Instance.
Update Lido GHO base borrow rate
Vote Cast: YAE
We voted in favor of this proposal. The previous Prime borrow rate for GHO was set in more favorable market conditions. With current low utilization, reducing the borrow rate should help stimulate market activity.
Set REZ, KERNEL and rsETH Emission Admin to ACI
Vote Cast: YAE
We voted in favor of this proposal, as it will fund a liquidity mining campaign to promote ezETH and rsETH deposits across multiple Aave instances.
GHO Risk Stewards Update and GHO CCIP Integration Upgrade
Vote Cast: YAE
We voted in favor of this technical upgrade of the GHO Risk Stewards.
Prime Instance - wstETH Borrow Rate + rsETH Supply Cap Update
Vote Cast: YAE
We support this update. By lowering the wstETH borrow rate, this initiative will drive growth for the Prime Instance, encouraging new LRT deployments and positioning it as the leading platform for LRT/LST looping strategies in the market.
