Summary:

This TEMP CHECK proposes the onboarding of the STG token to the Ethereum Aave v3 Liquidity Pool.

Motivation:

Stargate is a fully composable liquidity transport protocol central to Omnichain DeFi. It enables users and dApps to transfer native assets across chains while tapping into the protocol’s unified liquidity pools with immediate guaranteed finality.

Over the past month, Stargate has processed transactions exceeding $3.4 Billion, marking its position as the largest bridge in the crypto domain. The STG token, serving as the utility and governance token for the Stargate protocol, boasts a market capitalization of roughly $110,000,000 and a circulating supply nearing 200,000,000 STG.

Integrating the STG token into the Ethereum Aave v3 will enhance asset diversification, offering borrowers and lenders expanded avenues to leverage the protocol. This integration will empower users to deposit STG as collateral and also borrow STG, paving the way for new revenue streams for Aave.

This onboarding is considered in isolation mode with conservative LTV and debt ceiling parameters to limit protocol exposure.

Specification:

• Ticker: STG
• Contract Address: 0xaf5191b0de278c7286d6c7cc6ab6bb8a73ba2cd6
• Chainlink Oracle STG/USD: Chainlink Oracle
