## What happened

Aave tokenholders approved the syrupUSDC Temp Check, advancing proposed collateral onboarding for Ethereum Core to ARFC review.

## What changed

The proposal moved a Maple ERC-4626 yield token backed by institutional lending strategies into Aave's formal risk-review pipeline.

## What did not change

The vote did not list syrupUSDC, approve final collateral parameters, or validate Maple's credit underwriting and withdrawal behavior.

## Confirmed

- syrupUSDC is described as a USDC-based ERC-4626 yield-bearing token issued through Maple infrastructure.
- The proposal seeks collateral enablement on Aave V3 Ethereum Core.
- Final risk parameters were deferred to the ARFC stage.
- The Temp Check cites proposed incentives and anticipated institutional allocation, neither of which is guaranteed.

## Still open

- Final LTV, liquidation threshold, caps, oracle, and interest-rate parameters.
- Maple borrower, collateral, manager, withdrawal, and loss-allocation risks.
- ARFC and AIP outcomes.
- Stressed secondary liquidity and redemption capacity for syrupUSDC.

## What it means for an advisor

- Monitor the ARFC and require credit, manager, redemption, liquidity, and oracle diligence before any memo conclusion.
- Temp Check approval does not make syrupUSDC Ketju-approved or suitable as collateral exposure.
