Risk Stewards: Supply Cap Increases on Aave V3 / 2026.07.21

Summary LlamaRisk recommends the following parameter changes based on user behavior, on-chain liquidity, and position health observed in the latest review of Aave V3 reserves. Aave V3 Monad: Increase supply cap for syrupUSDC from 160,000,000 to 240,000,000. syrupUSDC (Aave V3 Monad) syrupUSDC has reached 91.2% supply cap utilization (145,962,754 / 160,000,000) on the Aave V3 Monad instance. Supply Distribution Source: LlamaRisk, July 21, 2026 The top twenty syrupUSDC suppliers run health factors between 1.01 and 1.30 with a median of 1.03, and all twenty carry outstanding debt. Fifteen borrow USDT0 and ten borrow USDC against syrupUSDC collateral, with smaller positions in GHO, AUSD, and mUSD, so the cohort holds stablecoin debt inside E-Mode category 1 (LTV 90.0%, LT 92.0%) and health factor stability tracks the syrupUSDC price. Recommendation We recommend raising the supply cap from 160,000,000 to 240,000,000 on Aave V3 Monad. Supply has grown 13.3% over the past seven days, and the proposed cap is approximately 1.64x current outstanding supply, landing at approximately 60.8% post-change cap utilization. The reserve is collateral-only, so the borrow cap is unchanged.
