This executive proposal includes an office-hours modifier that means that it can only be executed between 14:00 and 21:00 UTC, Monday - Friday.

If this executive proposal does not pass within 30 days, then it will expire and can no longer have any effect on the Maker Protocol.


Proposal Details

BlockTower Andromeda (RWA015-A) Update

As per the original technical assessment, a multiswap Output Conduit was initially proposed for this vault type. This will allow the operator role to choose which PSM is used to obtain redeemable stablecoins in return for Dai drawn from the vault. Currently, the vault is configured to use the USDP PSM as a compromise while the multiswap tool was developed. The multiswap Output Conduit is now audited and deployed, and the following actions will be carried out, if this executive proposal passes.

  • A new Output Conduit at 0x1E86CB085f249772f7e7443631a87c6BDba2aCEb will be authorized, allowing the operator to select which PSM BlockTower Andromeda transactions are routed through. This means that USDC, GUSD, or USDP may be used for drawdowns.
  • The relevant Chainlog entry RWA015_A_OUTPUT_CONDUIT will be updated to reflect the change to the Output Conduit.
  • The USDP, GUSD, and USDC PSMs will be whitelisted by calling clap.
  • The current Output Conduit will be deauthorized.
  • The old RWA015_A_OUTPUT_CONDUIT_LEGACY will be removed from the chainlog as it will no longer be used.

Smart Burn Engine Deployment

As per this successful governance poll and the Stability Scope, a new Smart Burn Engine will be deployed along with the following parameters, if this executive proposal passes.

  • Deploy the new Smart Burn Engine as MCD_FLAP.
  • The Maximum System Surplus (vow.hump) will be reduced by 200 million DAI from 250 million DAI to 50 million DAI.
  • The Surplus Auction Lot Size (vow.bump) will be reduced by 25,000 DAI from 30,000 DAI to 5,000 DAI.
  • The hop will be set to 1,577 seconds. The hop parameter defines the minimum amount of time that must elapse between kicks, setting the maximum frequency of market actions.
  • The want will be set to 0.98. The want parameter defines the relationship between the purchase price of MKR and the price provided by the MKR/USD oracle, i.e., the slippage. A want of 0.98 means that the purchase price of MKR can be up to 2% worse than the oracle price. However, if the price of MKR on Uniswap is better than the Oracle price, the Smart Burn Engine will not be constrained.
  • The pip will be set to 0xdbbe5e9b1daa91430cf0772fcebe53f6c6f137df. The pip is the oracle referenced by the Smart Burn Engine.
  • The receiver will be set to the Pause Proxy address - 0xBE8E3e3618f7474F8cB1d074A26afFef007E98FB . The receiver is the address that LP tokens will be deposited to after each market action.
  • A FlapJob will be added to the chainlog and keeper network sequencer. The address for the FlapJob is 0xc32506E9bB590971671b649d9B8e18CB6260559F. This will allow the Maker Keeper Network to trigger the Smart Burn Engine. This job will only trigger if gas price is below 138 gwei. It will still be able to trigger the Smart Burn Engine manually in this scenario. This restriction is to stop excessive amounts of gas being spent while purchasing relatively small amounts of MKR.

The new Smart Burn Engine will purchase MKR tokens for Dai from the Surplus Buffer. This MKR will then be paired with more Dai from the Surplus Buffer and deposited to UniswapV2's DAI/MKR pool. The LP tokens will be stored in the Pause Proxy.

As only one Flapper can be active in the Maker Protocol, the old MCD_FLAP used for buy-and-burn will be deactivated.

Please review the discussion thread for more information.
