Summary

This publication proposes whitelisting the crvUSD/GHO liquidity pool for the Conic crvUSD Omnipool.

Motivation

The crvUSD Omnipool has $4.9M in deposits that are allocated 48.55% to crvUSD/USDT and 51.45% to crvUSD/USDC.

The addition of crvUSD/GHO to the crvUSD Omnipool, while promoting diversification, would also increase the yield for liquidity providers.

The crvUSD/GHO pool has $1.4M in deposits yielding 16.98% via Convex Finance relative to crvUSD/USDC offering 11.35% on $7.4M and crvUSD/USDT at 12.69% on $6.6M of deposits. Including GHO in the crvUSD will improve the overall APR for users.

Looking forward, the Aave Liquidity Committee (ALC) intends to continue voting with its sdCRV holding to support crvUSD/GHO liquidity. During the next voting cycle, the ALC’s sdCRV voting influence is expected to increase, as well as the amount of voting influence directed to crvUSD/GHO.

Aave’s GHO stablecoin has a Chainlink and a Redstone Oracle. The Chainlink Oracle address is shown below:

Background

GHO & Aave Protocol

The Aave Protocol is a decentralized liquidity protocol deployed across many EVM-compatible networks including, but not limited to, Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Polygon. Currently, the Aave Protocol has over $20 Billion in AUM.

GHO is a decentralized multi-collateral stablecoin that is fully backed, transparent, and native to the Aave Protocol.

This is good both for diversity and APR, so I am in favor of this proposal.
GHO has been reasonable stable since the beginning of the year but given that it did have some trouble keeping peg in the past, I would suggest keeping the allocation relatively low at the beginning and increasing it as the project matures.

To me GHO opens the doors to some interesting pools. Potentially even a GHO omnipool. For.

Seems there needs to be a vote on CAP interpretations before this goes up for a vote.

Current CAP rules state that a pool “MUST HAVE” over USD10m in it

If we circumvent this, what else will we circumvent for some “friends”?
