Aave activates automated supply and borrow cap updates on Arbitrum

What happened

Aave governance executed proposal 253, activating the automated Aave Generalized Risk Stewards system for supply and borrow caps on the Arbitrum instance.

What changed

Chaos Labs Edge recommendations can flow through a RiskOracle and AaveStewardCapsInjector to an AGRS contract with RiskAdmin authority. Permissionless propagation is limited to a whitelist, with maximum 30% relative cap changes and a three-day minimum delay.

What did not change

The automation is limited to supplyCap and borrowCap for the listed Arbitrum assets; it did not authorize automated LTV, liquidation-threshold, oracle-price, reserve-factor, or collateral-listing changes.

Confirmed

• Proposal 253 executed on February 25, 2025.
• The new steward received RiskAdmin authority for the Arbitrum instance.
• The record lists 15 whitelisted assets and constrains both cap types to 30% relative changes with a three-day minimum delay.
• The injector runs through Chainlink Automation and was funded with 50 LINK from the Arbitrum Collector.

Still open

• The proposal record does not by itself establish the operational reliability or governance accountability of the off-chain Edge recommendation process.
• Future cap recommendations and whether they remain aligned with Ketju risk limits require ongoing monitoring.

What it means for an advisor

• Add the Edge RiskOracle, injector, Chainlink Automation, and automated AGRS path to the Aave control map.
• Review whether three-day, 30% cap changes alter approved exposure or liquidity assumptions, and monitor actual automated updates.
