Risk 🔎
In case you haven’t seen it, check out the Aave Risk Dashboard by Gauntlet at gov.gauntlet.network/aave. The Gauntlet team is particularly keen on iterating on this dashboard for the community and would love feedback via this Google Form.
Risk Parameter Updates:
Details can be found in this ARC
This week's set of parameter updates includes adjusting nine (9) total risk parameters across seven (7) Aave V2 assets including LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus. This past week saw slight volatility drops and increases in trading volume and liquidity for most assets. Gauntlet’s platform recommends the following set of parameter changes that will decrease liquidation bonuses on several less-utilized assets.
