Risk Parameter Updates 2021-10-14
01Summary
Batch update of nine risk parameters across eight Aave V2 assets (BAT, CRV, ENJ, REN, SUSHI, UNI, WBTC, YFI) including Loan-to-Value, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus adjustments to maintain protocol risk tolerance at the Moderate risk level chosen by the community.

02Description
Simple Summary
A proposal to adjust nine (9) total risk parameters across eight (8) Aave V2 assets including LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus.
Abstract
This proposal is a batch update of three risk parameters to align with the the Moderate risk level chosen by the Aave community. These paramater updates are a continuation of Gauntlet's regular parameter recommendations, the latest being AIP-40: Risk Parameter Updates 2021-10-07.
Motivation
This set of parameter updates seeks to maintain the overall risk tolerance of the protocol while making risk trade-offs between specific assets. For more detail on Gauntlet's first two months of recommendations and their impact, please see Gauntlet's most recent Monthly Risk Report.
Specification
| Parameter | Current Value | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| BAT Liquidation Threshold | 75% | 80% |
| CRV Loan To Value | 35% | 45% |
| CRV Liquidation Threshold | 55% | 60% |
| ENJ Loan To Value | 55% | 60% |
| REN Loan To Value | 50% | 55% |
| SUSHI Loan To Value | 30% | 45% |
| UNI Loan To Value | 55% | 60% |
| WBTC Liquidation Bonus | 7.5% | 6.5% |
| YFI Liquidation Bonus | 8% | 7.5% |

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.
The full list of parameter updates can be found in the forum.

03Mismatch analysis
I checked each of the 8 decoded configureReserveAsCollateral calls against the specification table. Each call targets the same LendingPoolConfigurator address named in the Implementation section, and the token order in the calldata (BAT, CRV, ENJ, REN, SUSHI, UNI, WBTC, YFI) matches the table order. For every asset, the parameter the table claims is changing (LTV, LT, or LB) matches the calldata value after converting basis points to percentages (e.g., 8000 bps = 80% LT for BAT, 4500 bps = 45% LTV for CRV, 10650 bps = 6.5% LB for WBTC, etc.). Parameters not mentioned as changing in the table appear unchanged in the calldata call (e.g., BAT's LTV stays 70% and LB stays 7.5%, only LT moves to 80%), which is expected since configureReserveAsCollateral requires passing all three parameters even when only one changes — this is standard implementation detail, not a hidden action. No value mismatches, no extra or missing actions, and no target mismatches were found. The description is a faithful, complete summary of the calldata's effects.'
