Methodology and limitations

Showing collateral exposure for DPI on Polygon. 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.
Show exposure details

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

→Interest Rate Curve Changes for Aave V3 Markets (Feb 2023)

DPI borrowers and suppliers show inelasticity, with borrows not prompting supply increases or vice versa on V3 Polygon. Increasing the reserve factor opportunistically boosts protocol revenue with only a slight expected reduction in supply.

↓Aave v2 Ethereum: Disable Borrowing on Volatile Assets

Recent market events and liquidity contraction have heightened volatility risks for DPI, prompting a disable of borrowing to reduce exposure while allowing deposits.

↓Risk Parameter Updates for Aave V2 Polygon and Aave V3 AVAX

Aave V2 Polygon lacks key risk controls like supply caps and isolation mode present in V3, and current market volatility warrants freezing the DPI market out of caution to promote migration to V3.

↓Risk Parameter Recommendations for Aave V2 ETH

Current market volatility combined with Aave V2's lack of advanced risk controls like supply caps and isolation mode heightens exposure risks for DPI, prompting a temporary freeze to derisk the protocol ahead of V3 migration.

↓Reducing Risk from Long Tail Assets

DPI, as a low liquidity collateral asset, faces imminent risk from short squeezes that could precipitate bad debt, necessitating a freeze to protect the protocol.

→Switch asset price oracles to Chainlink ahead of Ethereum Merge

Switching the price oracle for DPI from Uniswap v3 TWAP to Chainlink mitigates the reduced cost of manipulation attacks post-Merge, where PoS enables block proposers to more easily manipulate spot prices without arbitrage risks.

↓Gauntlet Q1 2022 Risk Review and Parameter Updates

Specific Q1 findings on DPI's collateral behavior and market stress prompted conservative tweaks to limit exposure, despite low overall protocol insolvencies.

↑Aave V2 Risk Parameter Updates for AAVE, DPI, ENJ, FEI, MANA

DPI saw a slight 5% volatility increase and 60% drop in weekly trading volume, yet agent-based simulations indicate lower liquidation bonus optimizes borrow usage without elevating insolvency risks beyond moderate tolerance.

↑Risk Parameter Updates for DPI and FEI

DPI's volatility decreased 19.5% over the period while trading volume rose 4.9%; simulations indicate lowering the liquidation bonus optimizes liquidator incentives and capital efficiency without elevating insolvency risk.

↑Enable Borrowing of DPI on Aave Markets

DPI borrowing was disabled after the Cream exploit as a precaution, but it was not vulnerable like xSUSHI because Index Coop's internal accounting prevents underlying assets from being donated to inflate its value, ensuring the Chainlink oracle cannot be manipulated. Re-enabling borrowing now that the exploit's mechanics are understood confirms DPI's safety for use.
