I’m currently working on a strategy extremely similar to this with @macarse right now. The relevant forum post is attached.

We decided to start building on Compound instead of Aave at the moment due to the added yield from COMP - but the core concept is nearly identical.

You’d need to take out a different stablecoin for the leveraging. This introduces liquidation risk to the vault in the _unlikely_ scenario that DAI falls in value compared to the other stablecoin, e.g. USDC.

When starting this strategy my main concern was how to allow end users to be certain their DAI would be secure in case of DAI losing its peg; returns were a secondary consideration. One just needs to look at the fraction of DAI in the yCRV pool to see how much more in demand this token is. In a worst case scenario, DAI…
