Protocol 📰
The community voted to launch GHO, an over collateralized stablecoin that will be native to the Aave protocol. Look out for a proposal on the genesis parameters coming soon
Llama shared May and June financial statements for the protocol including a breakdown of treasury assets on all v3 chains
After a vote by governance, the Guardian has frozen all of the assets on Harmony. This means that users will no longer be able to deposit, however withdrawals are still enabled

Risk-Off Framework:
Details can be found in this Snapshot vote
To achieve sustainability, Aave must combine value creation under favorable market conditions with the protection of itself and its users when conditions become unfavorable. Over the last several weeks, Gauntlet has collaborated with BGD Labs, Llama, Governance House, and other community stakeholders to align on how to most effectively serve the protocol regarding the tradeoffs between value creation and protection. In particular, it is important that the community explicitly aligns on a desired maximum reduction to liquidation thresholds per AIP because there are tradeoffs, as described in the forum post.
