Risk Parameter Updates for Aave V2 assets
01Summary
Batch update of risk parameters across nine Aave V2 assets (WETH, CRV, ENJ, MANA, UNI, YFI, ZRX, XSUSHI, USDC) adjusting Loan-to-Value, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus ratios to align with community-selected Moderate risk level and respond to recent volatility changes.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- WETH LTV increased from 80% to 82.5%(medium)
- CRV LTV decreased from 40% to 35%(medium)
- ENJ LTV increased from 50% to 55% and Liquidation Threshold increased from 60% to 65%(medium)
- MANA LTV increased from 60% to 65% and Liquidation Threshold increased from 65% to 70%(medium)
- UNI LTV decreased from 60% to 50%(high)
- YFI LTV increased from 45% to 50%, Liquidation Threshold increased from 60% to 65%, and Liquidation Bonus decreased from 10% to 8%(high)
- ZRX LTV increased from 60% to 65%(medium)
- XSUSHI LTV decreased from 35% to 30%(medium)
Notable concerns
- CRV experienced highest volatility increase (0.449) among tracked assets from 09-14 to 09-28, yet LTV was only slightly decreased; UNI LTV was decreased despite positive collateral usage change; some assets with high volatility increases (SUSHI at 0.329) received LTV decreases despite increased collateral usage

02Description
Simple Summary
A proposal to adjust thirteen (13) total risk parameters across nine (9) Aave V2 assets including LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus.
Abstract
This proposal is a batch update of three risk parameters based on previously selected community risk level preferences. First, a continuation of the two previous liquidation bonus updates, AIP-34: Liquidation Bonus Updates and AIP-38: Liquidation Bonus Updates for Eleven Aave V2 Assets. Second, updated LTV and Liquidation Threshold parameters to realign with the Moderate risk level chosen by the community.
Motivation
This set of parameter updates seeks to maintain the overall risk tolerance of the protocol while making risk trade-offs between specific assets. While increased volatility affected most assets in the ecosystem, some tail assets experienced even higher volatility and larger collateral usage (supply that is significantly borrowed against). In addition, increased liquidity and decreased trading slippage for certain assets allow for lower liquidation bonuses.
Specification
| Parameter | Current Value | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| WETH Loan To Value | 80% | 82.5% |
| CRV Loan To Value | 40% | 35% |
| ENJ Loan To Value | 50% | 55% |
| ENJ Liquidation Threshold | 60% | 65% |
| MANA Loan To Value | 60% | 65% |
| MANA Liquidation Threshold | 65% | 70% |
| UNI Loan To Value | 60% | 50% |
| YFI Loan To Value | 45% | 50% |
| YFI Liquidation Threshold | 60% | 65% |
| YFI Liquidation Bonus | 10% | 8% |
| ZRX Loan To Value | 60% | 65% |
| XSUSHI Loan To Value | 35% | 30% |
| USDC Liquidation Bonus | 5% | 4% |
See below volatility and collateral usage changes from 9/14 to 9/28 that were important drivers for the updated parameter recommendations.

Risk Dashboard
The community should use Gauntlet's Risk Dashboard to better understand the updated parameter suggestions and general market risk in Aave V2.

Implementation
The proposal sets the LTV, liquidation bonuses, and liquidation threshold ratios by calling configureReserveAsCollateral on the LendingPoolConfigurator contract at 0x311Bb771e4F8952E6Da169b425E7e92d6Ac45756, using the address and parameters specific to each token.

03Mismatch analysis
I matched each of the 9 configureReserveAsCollateral calls to the token addresses referenced in the table (CRV, ENJ, MANA, XSUSHI, UNI, USDC, WETH, YFI, ZRX) using known mainnet token addresses. For every asset, the LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus values in the calldata (converted from basis points, e.g. 8250 = 82.5%, 10400 = 104% i.e. a 4% bonus) exactly match the 'Recommended Value' column in the proposal's Specification table for every parameter the description claims to change. Parameters not mentioned as changing (e.g. CRV's LT/LB, WETH's LT/LB) are passed through unchanged in the calldata, which is expected since configureReserveAsCollateral requires all three parameters be resubmitted together — this is not a discrepancy. The total count of 9 assets and 13 parameter changes stated in the Simple Summary also reconciles exactly with the 9 decoded actions and the 13 distinct parameter changes enumerated in the table. No value mismatches, target mismatches, omissions, or misleading phrasing were found. Confidence is high because the description provides a precise numeric table that can be directly checked against the decoded basis-point arguments.'
