Stability Scope Defined Parameter Changes

As per the Stability Scope, and the adjustments to the base rate, the following parameter changes will be made, if this executive proposal passes:

Dai Savings Rate (DSR) Increase

  • Increase the DSR by 2.49% from 1% to 3.49%.

Stability Fee Increases

  • Increase the ETH-A Stability Fee by 1.99% from 1.75% to 3.74%.
  • Increase the ETH-B Stability Fee by 0.99% from 3.25% to 4.24%.
  • Increase the ETH-C Stability Fee by 2.49% from 1% to 3.49%.
  • Increase the WSTETH-A Stability Fee by 1.99% from 1.75% to 3.74%.
  • Increase the WSTETH-B Stability Fee by 2.49% from 1% to 3.49%.

Non-Scope Defined Paramater Changes

RETH-A Parameter Changes

Other Stability Fee Increases

  • Increase the CRVV1ETHSTETH-A Stability Fee by 2.49% from 1.75% to 4.24%.
  • Increase the WBTC-A Stability Fee by 0.9% from 4.90% to 5.80%.
  • Increase the WBTC-B Stability Fee by 1.4% from 4.90% to 6.30%.
  • Increase the WBTC-C Stability Fee by 0.65% from 4.90% to 5.55%.

USDP PSM Debt Ceiling Reduction

As per this poll, the following change to the USDP PSM Debt Ceiling will be made, if this executive proposal passes:

  • Reduce the USDP PSM (technical name PSM-PAX-A) Debt Ceiling by 500 million DAI from 500 million DAI to zero DAI.

Technical implementation note: to achieve this, the USDP PSM will be removed from the Autoline (DC-IAM) and have its Debt Ceiling set to 0. However, the Global Debt Ceiling (Line) will not be reduced at the same time. This is to leave a suitable buffer to prevent a situation where the total Dai supply exceeds the Global Debt Ceiling, which would prevent new Dai from being minted.

The following MKR vesting transfers will be made, if this executive proposal passes:

Sidestream Core Unit

As per their approved budget, 348.28 MKR will be transferred to the Sidestream Auditor Wallet at 0xb1f950a51516a697E103aaa69E152d839182f6Fe.

Note: the distributed amount has differed from the initial estimate due to Sidestream repricing their vesting plan. It remains within the overall approved cap.

Note: the distributed amount has differed from the initial estimate due to additional hires. It remains within the overall approved cap.
