Risk Parameter Updates 2022-04-22
01Summary
Batch update of risk parameters (LTV, Liquidation Threshold, Liquidation Bonus) for 4 Aave V2 assets (SNX, stETH, UNI, USDC) to align with the community-chosen Moderate risk level and optimize capital efficiency while maintaining protocol safety.

Key changes
- Adjust LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus for SNX (0xC011a73ee8576Fb46F5E1c5751cA3B9Fe0af2a6F): LTV 49%, Threshold 65%, Bonus 10.75%(medium)
- Adjust LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus for stETH (0xae7ab96520DE3A18E5e111B5EaAb095312D7fE84): LTV 73%, Threshold 75%, Bonus 10.75%(medium)
- Adjust LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus for UNI (0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984): LTV 60%, Threshold 75%, Bonus 10.9%(medium)
- Adjust LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus for USDC (0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48): LTV 85.5%, Threshold 88%, Bonus 10.45%(medium)
Notable concerns
- Parameter adjustments based on Gauntlet's agent-based simulations that depend on daily-changing market inputs; community should review Gauntlet Risk Dashboard for supporting analysis
- Proposal represents continuation of regular parameter recommendations and risk trade-offs between specific assets

02Description
Simple Summary
A proposal to adjust five (5) total risk parameters, including LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus across four (4) Aave V2 assets.
Abstract
This proposal is a batch update of risk parameters to align with the the Moderate risk level chosen by the Aave community. These parameter updates are a continuation of Gauntlet's regular parameter recommendations.
Motivation
This set of parameter updates seeks to maintain the overall risk tolerance of the protocol while making risk trade-offs between specific assets.
Gauntlet's parameter recommendations are driven by an optimization function that balances 3 core metrics: insolvencies, liquidations, and borrow usage. Parameter recommendations seek to optimize for this objective function. Our agent-based simulations use a wide array of varied input data that changes on a daily basis (including but not limited to asset volatility, asset correlation, asset collateral usage, DEX / CEX liquidity, trading volume, expected market impact of trades, and liquidator behavior). Gauntlet's simulations tease out complex relationships between these inputs that cannot be simply expressed as heuristics. The individual collateral pages on the Gauntlet Risk Dashboard cover other key statistics and outputs from our simulations that can help with understanding interesting inputs and results related to our simulations.
Specification
Our recent market downturn report showed that many collaterals are resilient to insolvencies, as our simulation models have predicted. We will continue to adjust risk parameters to drive increases in capital efficiency while maintaining protocol risk at safe levels.

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

03Mismatch analysis
The proposal describes a batch update of Aave V2 risk parameters (LTV, Liquidation Threshold, Liquidation Bonus) for four assets, executed via configureReserveAsCollateral on the LendingPoolConfigurator contract at 0x311Bb771e4F8952E6Da169b425E7e92d6Ac45756. The decoded calldata shows exactly four calls to configureReserveAsCollateral on that same target address, each setting the three parameters (LTV, LT, LB) for a distinct asset — matching the structural claim of '4 assets' and the named function/target. The description does not specify which numeric values change (it defers to an external forum link for the full parameter list), so I cannot verify the exact figures or confirm the precise count of 'five total parameters changed' (since each call technically touches 3 slots per asset, whether all are actual changes from prior state is unknowable without querying prior on-chain state). This uncertainty is a limitation of available data rather than an inconsistency, so it is not flagged as a discrepancy per the conservative reporting guidance. Target address, function name, and asset count in the description all align with the calldata. No unexplained transfers, role grants, or off-target actions are present. Given the lack of specific numeric claims to verify in the prose, confidence is medium rather than high, but no material or severe issues are evident.
