They can either deposit collateral in the V3 Ethereum Mainnet Pool and borrow GHO through Aave V3 Ethereum Pool or lash mint GHO tokens without any collateral using the FlashMinter Facilitator. The latter option requires that users repay the loan in a single transaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This AIP also proposes slashing the cost of borrowing GHO by using a mechanism built on Staked Aave (stkAAVE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other related news, the DAO is also <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/aave-dao-votes-ether-wsteth-reth-yield\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/aave-dao-votes-ether-wsteth-reth-yield\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voting to increase staking revenue<\/a> by converting unproductive ETH from its treasury into wrapped staked ETH and rocket pool ETH. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aave V3 users will be able to mint GHO tokens on Ethereum&#8217;s mainnet if the proposal is approved by the community.
