Aave v3 zkSync Activation
01Summary
This proposal activates the Aave V3 zkSync pool by listing 5 assets (USDC, USDT, WETH, wstETH, ZK) with specified risk parameters, setting the guardian as pool admin during bootstrap, and designating ACI as liquidity mining admin for ZK token. All governance procedures and technical evaluations have been completed.
- Type
- protocol addition
Key changes
- List USDC with supply cap 1,000,000, borrow cap 900,000, LTV 75%, LT 78%, variable slope 1 5.5%, variable slope 2 60%(high)
- List USDT with supply cap 3,000,000, borrow cap 2,700,000, LTV 75%, LT 78%, variable slope 1 5.5%, variable slope 2 60%(high)
- List WETH with supply cap 1,000, borrow cap 900, LTV 75%, LT 78%, variable slope 1 2.7%, variable slope 2 80%, assigned to ETH correlated eMode category(high)
- List wstETH with supply cap 300, borrow cap 30, LTV 71%, LT 76%, variable slope 1 4.5%, variable slope 2 80%, assigned to ETH correlated eMode category(high)
- List ZK with supply cap 18,000,000, borrow cap 10,000,000, LTV 40%, LT 45%, isolation mode enabled, debt ceiling USD 800,000, variable slope 1 9%, variable slope 2 300%(high)
- Set guardian address as pool admin via ACL_MANAGER.addPoolAdmin() for bootstrap security(medium)
- Set ACI as liquidity mining admin for ZK token via EMISSION_MANAGER.setEmissionAdmin()(medium)
- Establish ETH correlated eMode category with 90% LTV, 93% liquidation threshold, 1% liquidation bonus for WETH and wstETH(medium)
Notable concerns
- Risk parameters were updated post-snapshot from the governance forum; updated parameters are being used in this proposal
- ZK token has high variable slope 2 of 300% and isolation mode enabled with $800,000 debt ceiling due to higher risk profile
- wstETH has lower optimal utilization (45%) compared to stablecoins (90%), potentially affecting borrowing costs

02Description
Simple Summary
This proposal allows the Aave governance to activate the Aave V3 zkSync pool (3.1) by completing all the initial setup and listing USDC, USDT, WETH, wstETH, ZK as suggested by the risk service providers engaged with the DAO on the governance forum.
All the Aave zkSync V3 addresses can be found in the aave-address-book.
Motivation
All the governance procedures for the expansion of Aave v3 to zkSync have been finished, said:
- Positive signaling and approval regarding the expansion on the governance forum, temp check snapshot, and final snapshot.
- Positive technical evaluation done by BGD Labs of the zkSync network, as described in the forum in detail.
- Positive risk analysis and assets/parameters recommendation by the risk service providers.
Specification
The proposal will do the following:
- List the following assets on Aave V3 zkSync: USDC, USDT, WETH, wstETH, ZK
- Set the guardian address as the pool admin by executing
ACL_MANAGER.addPoolAdmin(). This is following the standard procedure of keeping pool admin on the Aave Guardian during the bootstrap period, for security. - Set ACI as liquidity mining admin for the ZK token by calling
EMISSION_MANAGER.setEmissionAdmin()method.
Note: The risk params suggested by risk service providers have changed post-snapshot, and the updated one's from the forum are being used.
The table below illustrates the initial suggested risk parameters for each asset:

Security procedures
-
The proposal execution is simulated within the tests and the resulting pool configuration is tested for correctness.
-
The deployed pool and other permissions have been programmatically verified, which can be found on the aave-permissions-book
-
In addition, we have also checked the code diffs of the deployed zkSync contracts with the deployed contracts on Ethereum, which can be found here. zkSync uses the Aave v3.1 version, and there are some minor diffs because production instances (e.g. Ethereum) didn't require this change to be applied
Below are the per contract comparative diffs of the contract modifications relative to Ethereum network:
