Methodology and limitations

Showing collateral exposure for AERO on Base. Max Borrowable uses the backend's liquidity-bounded borrow-capacity metric (`collateralMaxBorrowUsdLiquidity`) for the maximum additional USD debt that can be issued against the asset right now. Bad Debt at $0 is the minimum known bad debt if the collateral asset price goes to zero; null rows are excluded from this total rather than treated as zero, so totals may remain lower bounds.

  • These metrics describe lending exposure only and are not a full protocol risk rating.
  • This view does not include multisigs, timelocks, audits, oracle incidents, listing discussions, curator reports, or protocol backstops.
  • Chain-specific drilldown is exact only when the token resolves to a concrete chain:address.

Each row is one protocol-chain exposure for AERO as collateral. Bad debt at $0 totals remain lower bounds when a row is marked partial.

→Incentive Optimization Recommendations

The Base AERO market has lower-than-optimal utilization while over-incentivizing supply, leading Gauntlet to recommend cuts to both borrow and supply incentives to push utilization toward the kink and reduce overall COMP spend.

risk managerGauntletcomp.xyz

→Gauntlet Weekly Market Update Sep 21-28 2025

The Base AERO Comet had borrows decrease 2.91% to $2.74M and supply fall 3.98% to $4.23M, slightly increasing utilization to 64.76% while reserves grew negligibly.

risk managerGauntletcomp.xyz

↓COMP Rewards Recommendations Part 1

Utilization on Base AERO remains structurally below the kink despite IR curve updates and elevated incentives, showing insufficient borrow demand and inefficient capital allocation. Borrowers are not responding to subsidized rates due to limited opportunities for AERO, while high supply rewards are unjustified by utilization or deposit volatility.

risk managerGauntletcomp.xyz

→Weekly Market Updates: Base, Optimism, Polygon, Scroll

On Base, AERO borrows fell 8.70% to $1.99M alongside 14.80% supply drop to $5.42M, increasing utilization to 36.67% but with average reserve growth of -23.95%, leading to net protocol loss of -7.92K COMP equivalent.

↑Base v3 AERO interest rate curve adjustments to boost utilization

The AERO market on Base v3 shows persistently low utilization, resulting in limited reserve accumulation for the protocol. Lowering borrow base rates and slopes is intended to reduce borrowing costs, encouraging more supply and borrow activity to achieve healthier utilization above 55%.

↑AlphaGrowth 2025 SubDAO: New Assets and Markets Team

The AERO market on Base shows strong unrealized growth potential with targeted communities to serve; the team will execute strategies to heal and boost utilization toward 90% for better revenue and depositor yields.

risk managerGauntletcomp.xyz

↑Base AERO Comet Recommendations

AERO's high volatility exceeds WETH's, and over 10 million tokens emitted per epoch with declining veAERO lock rates could reduce swap liquidity and raise liquidation slippage. High liquidation penalties and a 10% buffer between factors provide mitigation for the new Base Comet market.
