The proposal is controversial and must pass the governance vote that is held.

The proposed stablecoin is similar to the MakerDAO protocol DAI, which is the most popular stablecoin on the Ethereum network.

The proposal states that GHO is over-collateralized and supported by “a diverse set of crypto assets selected at the discretion of the user”. Your assets continue to act as collateral and at the same time generate interest.

While GHO is protected by the assets of the Ethereum market, GHO’s main vision is to pursue organic adoption via L2 to solve real payment opportunities on the internet and on the ground.

According to the proposal, Aave DAO will determine the interest rate for borrowing GHO at a stable interest rate that may be adjusted based on market conditions.

“This revenue growth can be used to innovate the ecosystem, support contributors, strengthen finances during market downturns, or for other DAO-determined purposes.”
