The Governance Facilitators have placed a Governance Poll into the voting system on behalf of the Stability Facilitators. This Governance Poll will be active for three days beginning on Monday, July 24 at 16:00 UTC.
This is a binary vote.
- You may vote for a single option.
- You should vote for the option which you prefer.
- If you would accept either option, you should vote 'Abstain'.
The community can vote in this poll to express support or opposition to the following changes (commentary provided by Phoenix Labs team):
- Set DAI market Loan-To-Value (LTV) and Liquidation Threshold to 0.01%.
This will effectively remove DAI as a collateral type, ensuring that there won’t be a situation where the market is at 100% utilization and liquidations on the short positions need to be done. This is particularly important because the sDAI market is frozen, meaning that the only way to short is through the DAI market. Keep in mind that since DAI has active suppliers, LTV can’t be set to zero, this means that usageAsCollateralEnabled will still be true.
- Set WETH market Reserve Factor to 5%.
This will reduce the protocol fee taken on the ETH market giving suppliers a larger APY.
- Set WETH market Variable Rate Slope 1 to 3%.
This is sets the optimal borrow rate at 4%, based on the variableRateSlope1 change and baseVariableRate being at 1%. This change will ensure a more healthy utilization near the kink to improve supplier return and incentivize more deposits.
Please review the discussion thread to help inform your position before voting.
If the votes for the 'Yes' option exceed the votes for the 'No' option then the following actions will be taken:
- This change will be included in an upcoming Executive Vote.
- It is expected that this Executive Vote will take place within 30 days of this poll passing, absent external factors.
- If the Executive Vote passes, then these changes will become active in the Maker Protocol after the GSM Pause Delay has expired.
If the votes for the 'No' option equal or exceed the votes for the 'Yes' option then no further action will be taken at this time.
If you are new to voting in the Maker Protocol, please see the voting guide to learn how voting works.
