  • $138m of Flash Loan volume, generating $123k of fees for depositors

  • $19.0m liquidated, generating $1.3m of fees to liquidators

  • $865k for the ecosystem collectors now holding $37.6m

  • $12.0m generated by the protocol this week

Aave Grants DAO 🏗

The proposal to renew Aave Grants passed an on-chain vote with unanimous support from the community. This increases funding to $2m for the next quarter to continue supporting teams, events, and other sponsorships that strengthen the Aave ecosystem. Thank you to Index Coop, Flipside Crypto, and everyone else in the community who voted YAE and are in favour of more Aave Grants 👻

Risk 🔎

In case you haven’t seen it, check out the Aave Risk Dashboard by Gauntlet at gov.gauntlet.network/aave. The Gauntlet team is particularly keen on iterating on this dashboard for the community and would love feedback via this Google Form.

Risk Parameter Updates:

Details can be found in this ARC

This week's set of parameter updates includes adjusting nine (9) total risk parameters across seven (7) Aave V2 assets including LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus. In addition, Gauntlet proposes freezing the KNCL reserve to speed up the KNC migration as well as eliminating the risk of keeping a less liquid deprecated asset on the platform.

The recent market downturn on the weekend of December 4th led to the most liquidations on both centralized exchanges and in liquidity protocols in the recent past. Although volatility for assets is slightly higher, the abundance of liquidity and active market participants is a positive sign for the health of Aave. Multiple liquidations of over $400,000 USD occurred in quick succession. This shows ample liquidity for liquidators even in times of high network congestion. Although some assets currently have higher volatility, Gauntlet’s analysis shows that it is safe to increase borrowing parameters and decrease liquidation bonus values. Gauntlet’s simulations study price drops and network congestion more extreme than was seen last week, and slippage and liquidity considerations have improved.

Moving big value cross-chain? Child’s play once v3 is live

Ξmilio Frangella (🇦,🇦) @The3D_
do you know how many ETH are deposited in Aave L1? 1.30M 200k on polygon 150k on avalanche With V3 Portals moving 3K ETH between networks will be a child's play

@ercwl Suzhu mentioned in a recent uncommon core that bridges exist for Arbitrum but moving actual size is difficult. He had someone looking to move 3k Eth and it just wasn’t going to happen. Maybe things will change if there is more adoption.
