Aave

Summary

A proposal to make parameter changes on the Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, and Optimism Aave V3 markets. For more details, see the full forum post here.

Motivation

Given the significant shifts in crypto markets, Gauntlet’s platform has evaluated all assets on Aave V3’s active markets and has identified opportunities to adjust parameters for certain assets for the benefit of the protocol. Our methodology makes data-informed decisions around setting borrower and supplier interest rates when market conditions require the protocol to reduce risk or when strategic opportunities present themselves to increase protocol revenue without materially impacting risk. This analysis further finetunes the interest rate curves of Aave V3 across the Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, and Optimism markets.
