Risk Stewards: Cap and IRM Changes on Aave V4 / 2026.11.03
A risk service provider recommends raising several supply and borrow caps on Aave V4 (Ethereum and Avalanche) and changing the USDC interest rate slope on two hubs.
The post, written by LlamaRisk, lists ten parameter changes. On Ethereum: USDC draw cap on the Core Hub Main Spoke 36M to 40M; USDT draw cap 15.6M to 20M; WETH draw cap on the EtherFi Spoke 41.1K to 45K; weETH add cap 22K to 25K. USDC slope1 would rise from 5.00% to 5.50% on the Core Hub and fall from 5.00% to 4.50% on the Prime Hub. At current utilization the post says the Core Hub USDC borrow rate moves from 4.86% to 5.35%, and the Prime Hub rate from 4.83% to 4.35%. On Avalanche: USDt add cap 60M to 110M, USDt draw cap on the Ethena Ecosystem Spoke 50M to 100M, USDe add cap 60M to 120M, WAVAX add cap 2M to 4M. The post reports high concentration in several reserves: on the Avalanche Ethena Ecosystem Spoke the two largest positions hold nearly all USDt debt and USDe supply at health factors of 1.06 and 1.00, and the top twenty WETH borrowers on the EtherFi Spoke hold about 97% of drawn amount with a median health factor of 1.01. The post says changes will go through the Risk Steward process and includes a disclosure that the provider is funded in part by the Aave DAO.
