[TEMP CHECK] Onboard eUSDe to Aave v3 Core Instance

Author: ACI

---

Simple Summary:

The proposal aims to onboard eUSDe to Aave V3 on the Core Instance.

Motivation/Background:

eUSDe represents deposits in Ethereal, the upcoming Ethena backed perpetual futures exchange. eUSDe earns Ethereal points and 30x Ethena points, providing an attractive opportunity for point farming which has been a driver of considerable demand for borrow on Aave in recent times.

Benefits of listing eUSDe PT tokens:

• Significant new opportunity, with potential for large TVL growth.

There is no expected market impact caused by listing these tokens outside of increased borrow demand which should not be destabilising.

Chain to be deployed/listed:

eUSDe will be listed on Aave V3 Core Instance.

Proof of Liquidity (POL) and Deposit Commitments:

The same amount of Ethena points will be rewarded to eUSDe deposits as are rewarded to USDe deposits. More information on POL and Deposit Commitments will be discussed at ARFC stage.
