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 🤝 ---
