Risk Steward Parameter Updates Phase 3
01Summary
Proposal to expand Risk Steward parameter adjustment capabilities across 16 Aave V3 deployments by increasing allowed modification ranges for borrowing rates, rate slopes, and collateral parameters (LTV and liquidation thresholds) to reduce governance overhead and enable more responsive risk management.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Base Variable Borrow Rate adjustment range increased from 0.5% absolute to 1% absolute(high)
- Slope 1 adjustment range increased from 0.5% absolute to 1% absolute(high)
- Slope 2 adjustment range increased from 5% absolute to 20% absolute(high)
- Loan to Value (LTV) adjustment range increased from 0.25% absolute to 0.5% absolute(medium)
- Liquidation Threshold adjustment range increased from 0.25% absolute to 0.5% absolute(medium)
- Supply & Borrow Caps, Debt Ceiling, LST Cap adapter params, Stable price cap, Optimal Point (Kink), and Liquidation Bonus remain unchanged(low)
Notable concerns
- Expanding Risk Steward parameter modification ranges may increase protocol risk if adjustments deviate significantly from intended bounds
- Larger adjustment ranges for critical borrowing rate parameters (Slope 2 increased 4x from 5% to 20% absolute) could have substantial market impact

02Description
Simple Summary
This proposal aims to update the Risk Steward parameters to enhance the efficiency of risk parameter management and reduce governance overhead.
Motivation
The Risk Steward mechanism has proven to be an effective tool for managing risk parameters without requiring full governance proposals. After several months of successful operation, we propose updating the parameters to allow for more responsive risk management while maintaining appropriate safety constraints.
Technical service providers spend significant time reviewing risk parameter update AIPs, which could be more efficiently handled through the Risk Steward mechanism. With well-defined processes in place and months of successful operation, we can safely expand the scope of parameter adjustments allowed through this system.
Specification
| Parameter | Current | Proposed |
|---|---|---|
| Supply & Borrow Caps | 100% relative | (no change) |
| Debt Ceiling | 20% relative | (no change) |
| LST Cap adapter params | 5% relative | (no change) |
| Stable price cap | 0.5% relative | (no change) |
| Base Variable Borrow Rate | 0.5% absolute | 1% absolute |
| Slope 1 | 0.5% absolute | 1% absolute |
| Slope 2 | 5% absolute | 20% absolute |
| Optimal Point (Kink) | 3% absolute | (no change) |
| Loan to Value (LTV) | 0.25% absolute | 0.5% absolute |
| Liquidation Threshold | 0.25% absolute | 0.5% absolute |
| Liquidation Bonus | 0.5% absolute | (no change) |
(no change to minimum delay)
