Gauntlet proposes to update debt ceiling parameters for assets across Aave V3 on Avalanche, Polygon, and Arbitrum to isolate assets with infinite mint attack risks or non-standard token functionality. The community voted for the Aggressive option via Snapshot. Implementation uses pre-deployed payloads on Polygon and Arbitrum; Avalanche changes will follow via Guardian Steward.

Type
parameter change

Key changes

  • Update debt ceiling for isolated assets on Polygon using Config Engine payload(high)
  • Update debt ceiling for isolated assets on Arbitrum using Config Engine payload(high)
  • Update debt ceiling for isolated assets on Avalanche via Guardian Steward at later date(high)
  • Isolate assets susceptible to infinite mint attacks or with non-standard token functionality(high)

Notable concerns

  • Avalanche implementation deferred to future Guardian Steward action rather than included in this proposal execution

Summary

A proposal to make parameter changes on Aave V3 Avalanche, Polygon, and Arbitrum.

Abstract

Gauntlet aims to isolate assets that are susceptible to infinite mint attacks, possess non-standard token functionality, or may otherwise have inherent and unpredictable risks. The debt ceiling is designed to restrict protocol exposure to price swings and potential resulting insolvencies.

Gauntlet's methodology for isolation mode is described here.

Motivation

See the forum post for full details.

Specification

Per Snapshot Vote, the community has decided on the Aggressive option.

Implementation

The proposal updates the debt ceiling of the listed assets using two pre-deployed payloads, which use the Aave Config Engine to update the debt ceilings:

Payload implementation and tests can be found here

Avalanche changes will be made via a Guardian Steward at a later date.

Arguments for

  • Reducing debt ceilings on isolated assets mitigates tail risks from infinite mint attacks and non-standard token functionality while preserving existing user positions.— Pauljlei, Gauntlet
  • The proposed methodology using 15-25% of circulating market cap and 20% of available liquidity caps provide conservative safeguards against protocol insolvency.— Pauljlei, Gauntlet
  • Lowering EURS debt ceiling on Polygon protects the protocol from a concentrated single-whale exposure that could not be adequately liquidated in a worst-case scenario.— Pauljlei, Gauntlet

Arguments against

None surfaced.

Unresolved concerns

  • The meaning of 'non-standard functionality' and examples of infinite mint attacks were unclear and required subsequent clarification.— lbsblockchain
  • The appropriate action regarding the whale user holding 62% of EURS on Polygon was questioned and not fully resolved beyond reducing the debt ceiling.— lbsblockchain
  • Why conservative and aggressive recommendations for USDT on Arbitrum were identical was not immediately clear until explained as a liquidity-constraint issue.— lbsblockchain

Notable participants

  • PauljleiProposer and primary driver of the isolation mode methodology and recommendations.
  • GauntletRisk analyst who provided technical clarifications on non-standard token functionality and infinite mint attacks, and supported the debt ceiling rationale.
  • lbsblockchainCommunity member who raised clarifying questions about proposal terminology and risk assumptions.
