Proposal Details
Management of ConsolFreight (RWA003-A) Default
Following the notification of an impending default in the ConsolFreight (RWA003-A) pool and approval from the relevant Scope Facilitator for an urgent executive inclusion, the following actions will be taken, if this executive proposal passes.
- Reduce the RWA003-A Debt Ceiling by 2 million DAI from 2 million DAI to 0 DAI.
- Call
tell
on the RWALiquidationOracle for RWA003-A - this will allow Centrifuge to begin the unwinding process for this position.
ESM Authorization on the Vow
As a result of the recommendation from the outgoing Protocol Engineering Core Unit and the approval of the Responsible Facilitator, the following action will be taken, if this executive proposal passes.
- Authorize (
rely
) the Emergency Shutdown Module on the Vow.
This action fixes some attack vectors that could have been exploited during Emergency Shutdown, the reports of which have resulted in payments via the bug bounty program.
BlockTower Andromeda (RWA015-A) Input Conduit Chainlog Additions
As per this forum post and approval from the Responsible Scope Facilitator, the following updates to the Chainlog will be made, if this executive proposal passes.

asRWA015_A_INPUT_CONDUIT_URN_PAX
.
These changes will allow flexible repayment of stablecoins through the BlockTower Andromeda facility, allowing the Arranger Structure to make payments to the Maker Protocol in USDC, GUSD, or USDP.
Note: On a technical level, the updates to the current RWA015_A_INPUT_CONDUIT_JAR
and RWA015_A_INPUT_CONDUIT_URN
will require them to be removed and re-added to the chainlog with their new names.
Note: The USDP conduits are being labeled as PAX to remain consistent with other labels associated with the USDP PSM in the chainlog.
Chainlog Cleanup
As per this forum post and approval from the relevant Scope Facilitator, the following items will be removed from the chainlog, if this executive proposal passes.
FLIPPER_MOM
.FLIP_FAB
.
These contracts are no longer used in the Maker Protocol as we have moved all liquidations to the Clipper (Liquidations 2.0) system.
The spell will also remove the owner
and authority
from the FLIPPER_MOM as part of this process. These actions will effectively sever its ties with Maker Governance, removing the permissions it has on the Protocol contracts. In the (unlikely) event a new collateral type is being onboarded with the intention to use Flipper liquidations, a new FLIPPER_MOM will need to be deployed.
Cancel (yank
) GovAlpha Budget Streams
As part of the voluntary offboarding of GovAlpha, the budget streams are no longer required. The following actions will be taken, if this executive proposal passes.
yank
DAI stream ID 17.yank
MKR stream ID 34.
Launch Project Funding
Per this forum post from the Accessibility Scope Facilitators and the Accessibility Scope, the following budget transfers from the Launch Project budget will take place, if this executive proposal passes.
DAI Transfer
- Transfer 941,933 DAI to the Launch Project Multisig at 0x3C5142F28567E6a0F172fd0BaaF1f2847f49D02F.
MKR Transfer
- Transfer 210.83 MKR to the Launch Project Multisig at 0x3C5142F28567E6a0F172fd0BaaF1f2847f49D02F.
Spark Proxy Spell
As part of this executive proposal, a Proxy Spell for Spark Protocol at 0xFBdB6C5596Fc958B432Bf1c99268C72B1515DFf0 will be triggered if this executive proposal passes.
This Proxy Spell includes the following changes to Spark Protocol:
ETH Market Parameter Changes
Per this successful governance poll, the following parameter changes will be made:
- Decrease ETH market variableRateSlope1 by 0.2% from 3% to 2.8% - this effectively reduces the optimal borrow rate from 4% to 3.8%.
- Increase ETH market Optimal Utilization by 10% from 80% to 90% - this allows for better rates to suppliers at the optimal utilization.
- Increase ETH market variableRateSlope2 by 40% from 80% to 120% - this effectively increases the maximum borrow rate from 84% to 123.8% which reduces the possibility of the lending pool being at 100% utilization rate by accelerating the rate increase.
Please review the discussion thread to help inform your position before voting.
Increase wstETH Supply Cap
Per this successful governance poll, the following paramter change will be made:
- Increase the Spark Protocol wstETH Supply Cap by 200,000 wstETH from 200,000 wstETH to 400,000 wstETH.
