## What happened

Aave governance created proposal 257 to activate an Aave v3.3 pool on Sonic with USDC, WETH, and wS.

## What changed

The earlier deployment concept advanced to an executable on-chain proposal with initial collateral, borrowing, caps, liquidation parameters, oracle choices, and bootstrap administrator assignments.

## What did not change

The proposal had not passed or executed by February 28, so it did not create a live advisor-accessible Sonic exposure inside this backfill window.

## Confirmed

- Proposal 257 was created on February 26, 2025.
- It proposed listing USDC, WETH, and wS as borrowable collateral on Sonic.
- It proposed assigning the risk steward as RiskAdmin, the guardian as PoolAdmin during bootstrap, and the ACI multisig as emissions admin.

## Still open

- The vote outcome and any execution occurred outside the February event-date boundary and are not drafted here.
- Live liquidity, operational performance, and bridge and oracle dependency behavior were not established within the window.

## What it means for an advisor

- Update the Aave diligence file to track the concrete Sonic configuration while keeping Sonic outside the approved exposure set pending execution and live-operation evidence.
- Review the proposed bootstrap admin roles, oracle choices, and asset caps before any later access decision.

## Previous interpretation

The January backfill recorded that Aave had advanced a proposed v3 deployment on Sonic, without a final executable activation payload.
