[Proposal] Increase AAVE capTier from cap3 to cap4 ($10M -> $30M)

Governance Liquidity Mining [deprecated]
1

This is a proposal to raise the liquidity mining cap from $10M to $30M for $AAVE

The Proposal

After the activation of the Balancer Based Safety Module yesterday, the liquidity for $AAVE quickly crossed the 30M mark as new LPs join the AAVE/BAL incentivized Safety Module. Current APY by staking in the Safety Module is 350%, only considering the AAVE rewards, which will presumably attract a lot of liquidity, making Balancer the best protocol to trade AAVE on chain.

What is The Safety Module?

The Aave Safety Module acts as a collateral for the whole Aave ecosystem. AAVE holders, and now - with the new Balancer Based Stake - AAVE/ETH holders benefit from long term rewards for securing the protocol from insolvency, while at the same time bearing the risk of being slashed in case of shortfall events.
Having a very liquid onchain market and a consistent capital allocated in the Safety Module greatly increases the safety of the Aave ecosystem and the Aave protocol liquidity providers.

Thank you for this proposal. If it’s okay with you, I’ll put it to a vote from Thursday to Sunday this week. We have another cap change proposal that is also ready, and I’ll run them at the same time.

Definitely in favor of increasing this cap.

I would say AAVE is a token that should have the highest cap possible and given the recent addition of BAL to Aave V2, it only makes sense to return the favor.

I would personally support taking the Aave x Balancer partnership as far as both teams are willing to!

Will be voting in favor of this come this weekend :handshake:
