TL;DR:
- Sentora submitted an ARFC request to operate independent lending markets on Aave V4, sharing 50% of protocol revenue with the Aave DAO at zero operational cost to the community treasury.
- The initial Ethereum deployment establishes a dedicated Hub with designated Spokes, setting a deposit cap of 100 million RLUSD and a borrow cap of 90 million RLUSD.
- Initial borrowable assets are restricted to RLUSD, PYUSD, and OUSD, formally excluding USDC and USDT under a baseline 20% reserve factor framework.
Sentora targets Aave V4 through a formal governance proposal seeking to deploy and manage independently curated lending markets on the Ethereum network, transferring 50% of protocol revenue to the Aave DAO.
The initiative is posted on the official governance forum as an Aave Request for Final Comments (ARFC). If community feedback concludes favorably, the workflow will advance to a binding Snapshot vote, serving as the prerequisite step before formulating an Aave Improvement Proposal (AIP) for final on-chain execution.
Sentora was formed through the corporate merger of IntoTheBlock and Trident Digital. According to the proposal text, the initiative aims to consolidate institutional liquidity strategies that currently operate fragmented across multiple decentralized venues.
Under this framework, Sentora would assume end-to-end control over collateral selection, borrow caps, interest rate curves, liquidations, and price oracle integrations. Aave’s core governance retains ownership of the underlying smart contracts and final authority over structural upgrades.
The DAO’s regular risk service providers will carry no binding mandate or contractual obligation to monitor these markets or triage operational incidents. Unlike the core V4 deployments activated on Ethereum in March, this Hub will operate as a segregated environment with no cross-credit facilities connected to other Aave liquidity pools.
Risk architecture and operational Hub parameters
Modifications intended to reduce system risk—such as tightening collateral parameters or preemptively freezing markets—can execute immediately. In contrast, any supply cap increases or modifications to interest rate models will require an enforced 48-hour on-chain timelock.
This timelock mechanism does not restrict the scale of parameter increases, nor does it enforce cooldown windows between back-to-back updates. In the event of an operational dispute, the DAO cannot cancel individual queued transactions; its remediation path requires passing an AIP to revoke Sentora’s administrative manager roles.
Onboarding new collateral assets will require a mandatory two-week discussion window on the governance forum. Any technical objection raised by recognized Aave service providers will immediately halt the process, escalating the decision to a binding Snapshot vote. However, external risk auditors will receive no dedicated compensation for these reviews, meaning the absence of public objections does not imply an exhaustive technical audit.
The initial rollout completely excludes the highest-volume stablecoins, USDT and USDC. Lending and borrowing will be restricted to RLUSD, PYUSD, and OUSD, launching initially with RLUSD Yield, OUSD Yield, and a Bluechip Spoke, with a planned follow-on integration for PYUSD Yield.
The RLUSD Yield module will feature a supply cap set at 100 million tokens and a maximum borrowing capacity of 90 million. Initial collateral assets slated for this market segment include USDe and Huma PST, with subsequent expansions targeting PRIME and mWIN.
Borrowable stablecoins will implement a baseline 20% reserve factor on accrued borrow interest, a floor that Sentora may raise but cannot lower. The 50% share of these protocol proceeds will be routed directly to the Aave DAO treasury and will not represent a direct distribution to AAVE token holders or stakers. Final confirmation of the price oracle architecture for OUSD remains the primary technical milestone pending before initiating the Snapshot vote.
