They suggest setting the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of MAI to 0 and increasing borrowing rates to enable forced liquidation. Gauntlet estimates that the expected impact of forced liquidation is about $70,000. As previously reported by BlockBeats on October 13th, according to CoinGecko data, stablecoin MAI (MIMATIC) has been deviating from its peg since May 2023 and is currently priced at $0.7232, with a 24-hour drop of 12.3%.

September 1st, according to 21.co analyst Tom Wan's monitoring, more than 43 million sDAI have been deposited on Aave, accounting for 5.7% of the total supply. At the same time, since AAVE launched the sDAI pool, the supply of sDAI has also increased by 5.9%.

August 29th, the Aave community's proposal regarding the cancellation of the "GHO Pause and Freeze" has been voted on and passed on the chain, replacing the pause status of GHO assets on Ethereum with a freeze status. Previously, Aave had discovered a technical issue in the integration of GHO and Aave V3 GHO pool, so GHO as an asset was temporarily paused by Aave Guardian.

Marc Zeller, the integration lead of Aave, announced on X platform (formerly Twitter) that sDAI has been added to Aave. Zeller added, "Due to the new optimized interest rate curve, the wETH rate is the lowest among current blue-chip protocols, only 2.29%." Earlier, Marc Zeller submitted an ARFC proposal on the Aave governance forum to introduce sDAI as collateral into the Aave V3 Ethereum pool. According to the proposal, Aave can provide users with dual benefits of earning DSR income and using their assets as collateral. If approved, sDAI and DAI will both serve as reserve assets for the Aave V3 Ethereum pool, with sDAI primarily used as collateral and DAI as a borrowable asset.

On August 25th, Aave community released a new informal proposal called ARFC, aimed at promoting the adoption and use of GHO. The proposal suggests replacing Aave GrantsDAO (AGD) DAI allocation with GHO allocation. Currently, AGD has around $380,000 of unclaimed DAI. This proposal aims to replace AGD's existing DAI allocation with new GHO allocation, which would enable AGD's contributors and grant recipients to receive rewards in GHO as well as any other assets held in AGD's multi-signature. Given that GHO's trading price is below $1, AaveDAO can purchase GHO on the market, which would help support its pegged price, and then use GHO to fund AGD. This proposal is expected to be implemented after the ARFC proposal to increase GHO rates and technical issues discovered in the integration of GHO with Aave V3 GHO pool are resolved.
