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.

For more details on how Gauntlet manages market risk for Aave, please see Gauntlet’s Parameter Recommendation Methodology and Gauntlet’s Model Methodology.

Risk Parameter Updates:

Details can be found in this ARC

A proposal to adjust six (6) total risk parameters across three (3) Aave V2 assets. An on-chain proposal will be put up on Tuesday, 4/26.

This set of parameter updates seeks to maintain the overall risk tolerance of the protocol while making risk trade-offs between specific assets. Gauntlet’s parameter recommendations are driven by an optimization function that balances 3 core metrics: insolvencies, liquidations, and borrow usage. Parameter recommendations seek to optimize for this objective function. Gauntlet’s agent-based simulations use a wide array of varied input data that changes on a daily basis (including but not limited to asset volatility, asset correlation, asset collateral usage, DEX / CEX liquidity, trading volume, expected market impact of trades, and liquidator behavior). These simulations tease out complex relationships between these inputs that cannot be simply expressed as heuristics.

This set of parameter recommendations increases the Liquidation Threshold for UNI while also increasing its Liquidation Bonus. This is an example of a risk trade-off that Gauntlet’s simulation engine optimizes for risk and revenue.
