Summary

A proposal to increase sAVAX’s liquidation threshold and LTV on Aave V3 Avalanche.

Motivation

sAVAX is currently configured with a liquidation threshold (LT) of 45% and max loan-to-value (LTV) of 40%. Following our observations and simulations, we believe increasing the LT and LTV for this market is prudent.

sAVAX's average market cap over the past 180 days is $257M, and its daily average volume is $3.1M. It has registered a daily annualized volatility of 90.88%, a 30-day annualized volatility of 74.11%, and its largest single-day price drop was 14.5%.

Its supply is well distributed, with all but two of the top 10 suppliers leveraging the asset with WAVAX.

Supply has been trending upward since the end of July.

95.6% of the value of assets borrowed against sAVAX is WAVAX in E-Mode. USDC is the most popular non-E-Mode asset borrowed.

Specification

Given these observations, we recommend increasing sAVAX’s LTV and LT and increasing its LTV in E-Mode by a small amount.

Asset	Chain	Market	Current LTV	Recommended LTV	Current LT	Recommended LT
sAVAX	Avalanche	Main	40%	50%	45%	55%
sAVAX	Avalanche	E-Mode	92.5%	93%	95%	-

Next Steps

1. Following community feedback, submit the ARFC for a snapshot vote for final approval.
2. If consensus is reached, submit an Aave Improvement Proposal (AIP) to implement the proposed updates.
