Executive Summary

If this executive proposal passes, the following additions will be made to the Maker Protocol:

• Add a Debt Ceiling Breaker, described in this post, which will allow Governance to bypass the GSM Pause Delay when setting individual collateral types to a Debt Ceiling of 0. This spell adds the three active Peg Stability Modules to the Debt Ceiling Breaker whitelist.

If this executive proposal passes, the following changes will be made to the Maker Protocol:

• The Global Debt Celiling (Line) will be increased 110% of the sum of the debts of collateral types UNIV2USDCETH-A, UNIV2DAIUSDC-A, GUNIV3DAIUSDC1-A, and GUNIV3DAIUSDC2-A at spell execution time to prevent recent updates causing the protocol to unintentionally reach the Global Debt Ceiling.

Voting for this executive proposal will place your MKR in support of the changes and additions outlined above.

While the Debt Ceiling Breaker will allow Governance to instantly set individual Debt Ceilings to 0, the addition of the module listed above is subject to the GSM Pause Delay. This means that if this executive proposal passes, the addition listed above will only become active in the Maker Protocol after the GSM Pause Delay has expired. The GSM Pause Delay is currently set to 16 hours.

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

Add Debt Ceiling Breaker

If this executive vote passes, based on this emergency recommendation, a Debt Ceiling Breaker will be added that would allow Governance to individually set the Debt Ceiling of any enabled vault-type to 0 with an executive vote.

Debt Ceiling Breaker Detail

This vote enables a module for Governance to call that can set any individual vault-type to a Debt Ceilings of 0, while bypassing the GSM Pause Delay. The following PSMs will be added by this executive spell, with the ability to add future vault-types to the Breaker through an executive vote.

Global Debt Ceiling Changes

Based on the recommendations of the Protocol Engineering Team when testing, the Global Debt Celiling (Line) will be increased 110% of the sum of the debts of collateral types UNIV2USDCETH-A, UNIV2DAIUSDC-A, GUNIV3DAIUSDC1-A, and GUNIV3DAIUSDC2-A at spell execution time, if this proposal passes.

This action is intended to correct for manually adjusting the Global Debt Celiling (Line) during the last Emergency Executive.
