[ARFC] Update AAVE Token LTV/Liquidation Percentages

we are in favor of replicating changes on Arbitrum to reflect our alignment with this L2 and encourage Aave users migration from Polygon to a more friendly L2.

We also support increasing the LTV and LT on Arbitrum if it serves a strategic purpose. We note that there is approximately $1.3M worth of liquidity within the liquidation bonus (10%).

We also note that the supply cap might need to be raised if users transition to Arbitrum to benefit from more permissive parameters. In such a case, current liquidity provision indicates that a supply cap increase would be feasible.

Below we show a simulation of a 30% AAVE drawdown under current (70%) and proposed (75%) LT.

Simulation of 30% drawdown at current LT (70%), Chaos Labs, February 11th, 2025

We will update our proposed parameters in the original recommendation.
