Increase USDS Borrow Rate to Match Sky Savings Rate
01Summary
Proposal to increase USDS borrow rate on Aave's main market on Ethereum to 6.25% to align with the Sky Savings Rate and prevent USDS looping strategies.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- USDS Base Variable Rate increased to 6.25% on Ethereum main market(high)
- All other parameters remain unchanged(low)
Notable concerns
- Proposal aims to prevent USDS loopers by increasing borrow costs to match savings rate

02Description
Simple Summary
This ARFC proposes a Direct-To-AIP adjustment to the USDS borrow rate on the Aave protocol, increasing it to align with the Sky Savings Rate.
Motivation
The Sky Savings Rate has recently outpaced the USDS borrow rate on Aave. To correct this and ensure the protocol is directing incentives to true depositors instead of USDS loopers, we propose raising the USDS borrow rate to match the Sky Savings Rate.
Specification
USDS Borrow Rate will be adjusted as follows on the main market on Ethereum
- Base Variable Rate: 6.25%
All other parameters remain unchanged.

03Mismatch analysis
The proposal follows Aave's standard 'Direct-to-AIP' execution pattern: governance calls execute() on a pre-deployed, audited payload contract, and the actual parameter changes (interest rate strategy update) happen inside that contract's logic, which is not exposed in the top-level decoded calldata (only a bare execute()/fallback() call with no arguments is visible). This is routine and expected for this proposal type — the description references the exact GitHub implementation and test files for the payload contract, which is the standard way these rate-change ARFCs are structured. Because the decoded action set contains only the generic execute() call and no further nested calls or parameters, I cannot directly verify the 6.25% rate value against calldata, but there is no evidence of a mismatch, no extra targets, and no signs of hidden transfers, role grants, or unrelated actions. Given the well-known and consistent pattern for these proposals, and no contradictory evidence in the decoded data, I assess this as consistent, with medium confidence reflecting the limited visibility into the payload's internal logic.
