LlamaRisk proposes LlamaGuard PT risk oracle for Aave
LlamaRisk has introduced LlamaGuard PT, an automated risk oracle for Pendle PT collateral on Aave, built on Chainlink CRE. It computes onchain the risk parameters stewards currently set by hand, with step-size caps, deviation gates, and minimum delays enforced onchain. Described as the always-on risk layer for Pendle PT collateral in DeFi lending, the related proposal is open for community review.
