The Umbrella plan would put Aave\u2019s DAO first in absorbing losses, followed by volunteer underwriters, while limiting this initial coverage to those three lending markets.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed underwriting targets are 800 ETH for Core WETH, 400,000 USDC for Core USDC and 400,000 USDT for Core USDT. TokenLogic sized them for six to eight weeks of expected loan growth. They are targets for a proposed configuration, not balances already committed to protecting lenders.<\/p>\n<p>For suppliers, the boundary is the specific reserve, or asset pool, receiving their deposit. Coverage for Core USDC would not extend to USDC supplied to another Hub, even though the token is the same. Capital allocated to one Hub asset cannot clear another reserve\u2019s deficit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Aave crypto lending proposal would let emergency tools freeze markets \u2013 but not unfreeze them<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"\/> <\/span> <\/div>\n<h2>Who would absorb losses?<\/h2>\n<p>Bad debt arises when liquidation exhausts a borrower\u2019s collateral but leaves debt unpaid.

The extra yield therefore comes with both potential capital loss and restricted access to funds.<\/p>\n<p>TokenLogic does not recommend initial general-purpose coverage for USDG or frxUSD. It cites uncertainty over incentive-sensitive lending activity and the ability to attract underwriters who transfer risk away from existing suppliers. For frxUSD, it highlights a concentrated, issuer-linked supplier base.<\/p>\n<p>The assessment also leaves other Hubs\u2019 reserves outside the initial plan, for varying reasons including limited incremental protection and narrow supplier bases.
