## 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.
