## What happened

Aave governance executed proposal 395, activating automated Slope2 interest-rate updates on specified Ethereum Core and Linea reserves.

## What changed

The approved risk-oracle and steward path became operative for Slope2 updates. Covered Ethereum assets include WETH, USDC, USDT, and USDe; covered Linea assets include WETH, USDC, and USDT.

## What did not change

The automation is restricted to Slope2 for whitelisted assets and did not transfer unrestricted authority over other interest-rate, collateral, liquidation, oracle, pause, or custody parameters.

## Confirmed

- Proposal 395 reached executed status on October 25.
- The execution included an Ethereum payload and a Linea payload.
- The activated steward was limited to Slope2 updates for configured assets.
- The proposal assigned the required RiskAdmin authority and specified Chainlink Automation for Ethereum and Gelato automation for Linea.

## Still open

- The realized frequency and magnitude of automated Slope2 changes after activation.
- Market-by-market performance during prolonged high-utilization stress.

## What it means for an advisor

- Supersede the earlier ARFC-stage interpretation with executed status in the Aave memo's control map.
- Monitor automated borrow-rate changes and distinguish them from manually governed parameter changes when evaluating liquidity stress.

## Previous interpretation

The Slope2 risk-oracle automation had been approved at the ARFC stage but was not yet confirmed operative.
