01Summary

AISummary by Kvorumclaude-haiku-4-5

Proposal to adjust seven risk parameters across four Aave V2 assets (CRV, DAI, ENJ, LINK) by modifying Liquidation Thresholds and Liquidation Bonuses. Notable: CRV and ENJ liquidation thresholds are being lowered (to 64% and 67% respectively) in alignment with community-chosen Moderate risk level, while DAI and LINK thresholds are being raised. No accounts would be liquidated based on current market conditions.

Type
parameter change

Key changes

  • CRV Liquidation Threshold reduced from 65% to 64%(medium)
  • DAI Liquidation Threshold increased from 80% to 85%(medium)
  • DAI Liquidation Bonus reduced from 5.0% to 4.0%(low)
  • ENJ Liquidation Threshold reduced from 70% to 67%(medium)
  • ENJ Liquidation Bonus reduced from 6.5% to 6.0%(low)
  • LINK Liquidation Threshold increased from 78% to 83%(medium)
  • LINK Liquidation Bonus increased from 6.3% to 7.0%(low)

Notable concerns

  • Liquidation thresholds for CRV and ENJ are being lowered, which increases liquidation risk for users holding these assets as collateral
  • Parameter changes align with Risk Off Framework but represent risk trade-offs between specific assets

Simple Summary

A proposal to adjust seven (7) total risk parameters, including 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 Moderate risk level chosen by the Aave community. These parameter updates are a continuation of Gauntlet’s regular parameter recommendations. Our simulation engine has ingested the latest market data (outlined below) to recalibrate parameters for the Aave protocol. Please note that this set of parameter changes will be lowering liquidation threshold for CRV and ENJ. The community has aligned on a Risk Off Framework regarding lowering liquidation thresholds.

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. As such, the input metrics we show below can help understand why some of the param recs have been made but should not be taken as the only reason for recommendation. 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.

For more details, please see Gauntlet's Parameter Recommendation Methodology and Gauntlet's Model Methodology.

Aave V2 Parameter Changes Specification

Gauntlet's simulation engine will continue to adjust risk parameters to maintain protocol market risk at safe levels while optimizing for capital efficiency.

See below volatility and exchange volume data from 07/01 to 08/03. These are valuable metrics to build intuition but are not the only inputs our simulations take into account to make parameter recommendations.

Notable Accounts to Flag

As of 8/8/2022, the data shows that no accounts would be liquidated as a result of these parameter updates. This could change if prices move significantly. On a daily basis, up until this proposal is executed, we will check whether these parameter updates will cause any liquidations and update the community on the forum post.

Risk Dashboard

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

Value at Risk represents the 95th percentile insolvency value that occurs from simulations we run over a range of volatilities to approximate a tail event.

Liquidations at Risk represents the 95th percentile liquidation volume that occurs from simulations we run over a range of volatilities to approximate a tail event.

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.

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

03Mismatch analysis

AIMismatch analysis by Kvorumclaude-sonnet-5
Consistent

Compared each of the four configureReserveAsCollateral calls against the proposal's parameter table. Liquidation Threshold values for CRV (64%), DAI (85%), ENJ (67%), and LINK (83%) all match the calldata's threshold arguments exactly. Liquidation Bonus values for DAI (4.0%), ENJ (6.0%), and LINK (7.0%) match the calldata's bonus arguments once converted from Aave's 100%+bonus% encoding (e.g., 10400 = 4% bonus). CRV's liquidation bonus is not discussed in the table, but the calldata's bonus value for CRV cannot be judged against a stated baseline in the description — this is consistent with normal Aave practice where the function requires passing all three parameters even when only one (threshold) is changing, and the LTV values (also unlisted in the table) fall into this same category and are explicitly acknowledged in the Implementation section as part of the call signature. Token contract addresses used in the calldata (CRV, DAI, ENJ, LINK) correctly correspond to their real mainnet addresses, and the target LendingPoolConfigurator address matches the one stated in the Implementation section. No value mismatches, target mismatches, or omitted/extra actions were found. The proposal description accurately and completely reflects the on-chain calldata.'
