Answer First
What is GHO?
GHO is Aave's decentralized dollar stablecoin, minted by borrowing against any Aave V3 collateral, with peg defended by stablecoin-backed stability modules. The static profile records its US Dollar peg mechanism as: Overcollateralized minting via the Aave V3 facilitator model; live GSM redemption is centered on yield-bearing stability modules such as stataUSDC and stataUSDT, with steward-managed facilitator limits reinforcing the peg
Is GHO safe?
GHO holds a B Safety Score grade (70/100) in Pharos's latest published rating — a safe-tier grade, so Pharos assesses it as overall safe, though no stablecoin is entirely risk-free. Static metadata says GHO uses a CeFi-Dependent governance model and Crypto-Collateralized backing, with live reserve feed configured; the main caveat is that freeze exposure is inherited through upstream collateral, custody, or wrapper dependencies. Treat the live peg, liquidity, reserve, dependency, and Safety Score sections below as the current risk read.
