Proposal Details

Spark Lend D3M Onboarding

As per previous approval in multiple polls (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and per the Scope Frameworks (Decentralized Collateral Scope, Ecosystem Scope), the D3M to Spark Lend will be activated in this spell using the following parameters:

Vault Parameters

• Ilk Name: DIRECT-SPARK-DAI
• Increase the Maximum Debt Ceiling (line) to 5 million DAI.
• Set Target Available Debt (gap) to 5 million DAI.
• Set Ceiling Increase Cooldown (ttl) to 8 hours.
• Set tau to 7 days; this parameter defines the time period required before debt can be written off after a D3M has been caged.

Additional Parameters/Instructions

• Assign King to the Pause Proxy with address: 0xBE8E3e3618f7474F8cB1d074A26afFef007E98FB. This address will receive any rewards.
• Set Aave Buffer Plan (buffer) to 30 million DAI. This ensures a fixed liquidity buffer on the DAI Pool.
• Set baseRateConversion to 1/90%. This value is multiplied by the DSR to set the DAI market borrow rate.
• Set borrowSpread to 0. This will keep the borrow rate flat if the D3M Debt Ceiling is above the vault debt.
• Set supplySpread to 0.
• Set maxRate to 75%. This is the maximum value for both supply and borrows and is encouraged when vault debt exceeds the Debt Ceiling of the D3M.
• Update the DAI Interest Strategy Contract to 0x113dc45c524404F91DcbbAbB103506bABC8Df0FE, disabling the performance bonus.
• Set DAI Reserve Factor to 0% using poolConfigurator.setReserveFactor(DAI_ADDRESS, 0). This means all revenue will be sent to Maker.
• Freeze the WBTC market using poolConfigurator.setReserveFreeze(WBTC_ADDRESS, true). This aligns with the Decentralized Collateral Scope Framework.
