Aave proposes automated cap controls on four additional networks

What happened

BGD Labs proposed enabling Aave Generalised Risk Stewards for supply and borrow caps on Optimism, BNB, Gnosis, and Polygon.

What changed

If executed, whitelisted reserve caps on four additional deployments could be changed through off-chain Edge recommendations, RiskOracle contracts, injector automation, and newly assigned RISK_ADMIN roles.

What did not change

No execution was established within July. The stewards would remain limited to supply and borrow caps, whitelisted assets, and maximum 30% changes every three days.

Confirmed

• The proposal identifies Optimism, BNB, Gnosis, and Polygon as the new deployments.
• The automated authority is limited to supply and borrow caps.
• The proposed constraint is a maximum 30% increase or decrease every three days.
• Chainlink Automation would run the injectors except on Gnosis, where Gelato Automation is specified.
• The official proposal publishes the intended steward, injector, and RiskOracle addresses.

Still open

• The Aave governance outcome after July 31.
• The final execution payload and assigned RISK_ADMIN roles.
• Post-execution asset allowlists and automation funding.
• Failure handling for stale, erroneous, unavailable, or compromised off-chain recommendations.

What it means for an advisor

• Review the Aave memo's delegated risk-control map before treating the additional cap automation as operative.
• Verify final roles, allowlists, constraints, automation dependencies, and revocation paths after execution.
