## What happened

Aave governance approved proposal 332 to automate discount-rate updates for three Pendle PT feeds and deploy updated manual AGRS contracts across its instances.

## What changed

The approved payload would grant RISK_ADMIN authority to new steward contracts, permit automated discount-rate recommendations through Edge Risk Oracle infrastructure, and allow constrained manual e-mode and Pendle discount-rate changes.

## What did not change

Execution occurred after the June boundary. The approval did not remove the stated percentage constraints, minimum delays, feed allowlist, or separate handling of GHO.

## Confirmed

- The automated steward is limited to whitelisted Pendle PT feeds on Ethereum Core.
- Automated discount-rate changes are constrained to a maximum one percentage-point absolute change every two days.
- Manual e-mode LTV, liquidation-threshold, and liquidation-bonus changes retain stated limits and three-day delays.
- The proposal passed before June 30 ended but was not executed until July 1.

## Still open

- Verification of the July execution and final RISK_ADMIN role assignments.
- The complete deployed allowlist and automation configuration.
- How off-chain recommendation failures or stale inputs are handled operationally.
- Whether realized PT pricing behavior remains within memo assumptions.

## What it means for an advisor

- Review Aave's oracle and delegated-risk-control map because approval expands automated and manual authority over collateral pricing and e-mode parameters.
- Verify executed roles, limits, allowlists, and revocations before treating the new AGRS configuration as operative.
