Reserve Factor Updates
01Summary
This proposal increases Reserve Factors (RF) for multiple assets on Aave V2 across Ethereum and Avalanche networks. On Ethereum V2, 11 assets will see RF increases of 5% each (e.g., DAI from 35% to 40%, WBTC from 40% to 45%). On Avalanche V2, 6 assets will see larger RF increases ranging from 25-30% (e.g., DAIe, USDCe, USDTe, WETHe from 10% to 35%). This reduces deposit yields and directs more interest revenue to Aave DAO's Treasury while encouraging migration from V2 to V3. User funds remain at liquidation risk and borrowing rates are unchanged.

- parameter change
Key changes
- Ethereum V2: Increase Reserve Factor for DAI, USDC, USDT, WETH, LUSD from 35% to 40%(medium)
- Ethereum V2: Increase Reserve Factor for FRAX, LINK, sUSD, WBTC from 40% to 45%(medium)
- Ethereum V2: Increase Reserve Factor for GUSD, USDP from 30% to 35%(medium)
- Avalanche V2: Increase Reserve Factor for DAIe, USDCe, USDTe, WETHe from 10% to 35%(high)
- Avalanche V2: Increase Reserve Factor for WAVAX from 15% to 35%(high)
- Avalanche V2: Increase Reserve Factor for WBTCe from 10% to 40%(high)
Notable concerns
- Reduced deposit yields may negatively impact users on V2 platforms
- Significant Reserve Factor increases on Avalanche V2 (25-30 percentage points) represent substantial changes compared to Ethereum V2 increases (5 percentage points)

02Description
Simple Summary
This AIP is composed of two actions: (1) a continuation of proposal 49 on Governance V3 that increases the Reserve Factor (RF) for assets on Ethereum V2 by 5.00%, up to a maximum of 99.99%; and (2) to start periodically increasing the RF across Avalanche V2.
Motivation
This AIP will reduce deposit yield for assets on Ethereum & Avalanche V2 by increasing the RF. With this upgrade being passed, users will be further encouraged to migrate from Ethereum V2 to V3.
Increasing the RF routes a larger portion of the interest paid by users to Aave DAO's Treasury. User's funds are not at risk of liquidation and the borrowing rate remains unchanged.
Of the assets with an RF set at 99.99%, there is no change. All other asset reserves will have the RF increased by up to 5.00%.
Specification
For Ethereum V2, the following parameters are to be updated as follows:
| Asset | Previous Reserve Factor | New Reserve Factor |
|---|---|---|
| DAI | 35.00% | 40.00% |
| FRAX | 40.00% | 45.00% |
| GUSD | 30.00% | 35.00% |
| LINK | 40.00% | 45.00% |
| LUSD | 35.00% | 40.00% |
| sUSD | 40.00% | 45.00% |
| USDC | 35.00% | 40.00% |
| USDP | 30.00% | 35.00% |
| USDT | 35.00% | 40.00% |
| WBTC | 40.00% | 45.00% |
| WETH | 35.00% | 40.00% |
For Avalanche V2, the following parameters are to be updated as follows:
| Asset | Previous Reserve Factor | New Reserve Factor |
|---|---|---|
| DAIe | 10.00% | 35.00% |
| USDCe | 10.00% | 35.00% |
| USDTe | 10.00% | 35.00% |
| WAVAX | 15.00% | 35.00% |
| WBTCe | 10.00% | 40.00% |
| WETHe | 10.00% | 35.00% |
