1. Updates from Llama 🦙
Aave
We recently shared our April 2023 financial report. Aave treasury holdings at month end totaled $130.7m (with 69.8% of the treasury in AAVE).
Aave had inflows of $4.7m in revenue in April, including ~$3.6m in airdropped ARB tokens. Total Value Locked (TVL) stood at $7.9b.
In the last two weeks, Llama proposed and executed 3 onchain proposals:
wMATIC Supply & Borrow Cap Increase Polygon v3 - proposes increasing the wMATIC Supply and Borrow Cap on Polygon v3.
MaticX Supply Cap Increase Polygon v3 - proposes increasing the MaticX Supply Cap on Polygon v3 from 17.2M units to 29.3M units.
AGD Approval - corrects the Aave Grants DAO aUSDT allowance that was previously incorrectly set.
We also kicked off several discussions on Aave’s forum:
Meanwhile, multiple proposals have progressed to the Snapshot phase; voting ends today at 6 pm ET.
