Aave votes to suspend lending on Polygon PoS chain, potentially leading to over $30 million TVL loss
According to The Block, the Aave community has approved a proposal to significantly increase the risk parameters on the Polygon PoS chain, effectively suspending lending services on that chain. Currently, Aave is the DeFi protocol with the highest TVL on Polygon, with over $30 million in deposits.
This move stems from Polygon's proposal last December to utilize over $1 billion in stablecoin reserves for yield generation, which raised concerns in the Aave community. Aave founder Marc Zeller proposed adjusting the risk parameters of Aave v2 and v3 to prevent further deposits and protect users' collateral. Ultimately, the Aave DAO passed the proposal with 692,000 votes in favor and 117,000 votes against, reducing the loan-to-value (LTV) ratios for USDT and USDC on the Polygon PoS chain to 0%.
