Methodology and limitations

Showing collateral exposure for LINK on onchain. 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 LINK as collateral. Bad debt at $0 totals remain lower bounds when a row is marked partial.

↓Compound Ethereum Supply Cap Reductions Across Comets

LINK shows utilization around 16-22% in USDT and USDC Comets, qualifying for a 30% buffer cap. This tightens exposure to oracle behavior risks and exploits targeting non-core collaterals.

contributor@dmitriywoofsoftwarecomp.xyz

→Chainlink SVR and CAPO oracle upgrades for USDT Mainnet

LINK price feed is updated to Chainlink SVR using OEV for USD pricing, improving resilience to manipulation and aligning with community-approved oracle enhancements.

contributor@ACIgovernance.aave.com

↓Onboard wstLINK to Aave V3 Core Instance

To accommodate wstLINK in the new e-Mode category where LINK becomes borrowable, the borrow cap is reduced from 13M to 6M based on updated risk assessments from service providers, while the base interest rate rises to 1.5% and slope2 lowers to 150% for better risk alignment.

↑Aave Chainlink SVR v1 Activation Phase 2

LINK, a mid-cap governance token, has a lin_res score of 136 in OEV assessment, highlighting notable potential for liquidation value extraction based on its historical volatility and downside sensitivity.

risk managerChaos Labschaoslabs.xyz

→Chaos Labs SVR Monitoring Platform Launch

As a whitelisted SVR feed, LINK liquidations contribute to OEV tracking, with the platform analyzing recapture rates influenced by Chainlink's oracle structure and liquidation volumes. Cumulative OEV identified stands at $87.6K across whitelisted assets, with $18.3K recaptured by the protocol.

→Aave Chainlink SVR v1 Phase 1 Activation

The SVR pilot introduces a 5-block price feed delay, with historical deviations showing a 99th percentile of 1.03% for LINK. Increasing the liquidation bonus covers potential under-collateralization from these delays without altering borrowing or collateral exposure.

↓Compound v2 Deprecation: Collateral Factor Decreases

Under the Compound v2 deprecation plan, LINK's collateral factor is dropping to 0% to eliminate its collateral functionality and mitigate risks in the deprecated markets.

risk managerGauntletcomp.xyz

↓Risk parameter adjustments for LINK and UNI due to low utilization

LINK supply caps in USDC and USDT Ethereum Comet markets have shown persistently low utilization below 25% for weeks, indicating limited demand. High 30-day log volatility of 77.91% and slippage analysis under risk-off scenarios justify lowering collateral factors to 73% and increasing liquidation penalties to 17% for better risk alignment.
