## What happened

TokenLogic proposed general-purpose Umbrella markets covering all Spokes borrowing Core WETH, USDC and USDT, including cross-Hub credit-line borrowing.

## What changed

Proposed targets are 800 ETH and 400,000 each of USDC and USDT, with a 20-day cooldown, two-day unstaking window and asset-specific deficit offsets.

## What did not change

The ARFC does not demonstrate funded coverage or execution. Coverage would not satisfy the memo's production-history and withdrawal-test requirements by itself.

## Confirmed

- Coverage and deficit offsets are specified per Hub and asset.
- Proposed deficit offsets are 33 ETH and 15,000 each of USDC and USDT.
- The proposal does not recommend general-purpose coverage for the other assessed markets.

## Still open

- Governance approval, deployment, actual underwriting capital and activation.
- Whether eventual coverage is sufficient relative to each connected Spoke's loss exposure.

## What it means for an advisor

- Track prospective coverage by exact Hub asset in the aave-v4 diligence file.
- Keep first-loss offsets, underwriting capital and supplier exposure distinct; retain current exclusion pending all reopening evidence.
