The Governance Facilitators have placed a Governance Poll into the voting system on behalf of the MakerDAO mandated actors. This Governance Poll will be active for three days beginning on Monday, April 25 at 16:00 UTC.

This is a binary vote.

• You may vote for a single option.
• You should vote for the option which you prefer.
• If you would accept either option, you should vote 'Abstain'.

Review

This poll allows the MakerDAO governance community to signal their support or opposition to adding wstETH-B as a new vault type in the Maker Protocol with the parameters below.

Note that this proposed vault type was previously discussed as wstETH-C, however, if it is voted to be added to the Maker Protocol it will be added under the wstETH-B ilk name to maintain sequential naming conventions as discussed here.

• Underlying Collateral: wstETH (Wrapped Lido Staked ETH)
• Stability Fee: 0.75%

• Maximum Debt Ceiling (line): 150 million DAI
• Debt Floor (dust): 5,000 DAI
• Target Available Debt (gap): 15 million DAI
• Ceiling Increase Cooldown (ttl): 8 hours

Liquidation Parameters

• Auction Price Function (calc): Exponential Stair Step
• Price Change Multiplier (cut): 0.99

Please review the following forum threads containing information about wstETH-B to inform your position before voting.

• Proposal Thread
• Risk Core Unit Evaluation
• Protocol Engineering Core Unit Evaluation
• Oracles Core Unit Evaluation

Outcomes

If the votes for the 'Yes' option exceed the votes for the 'No' option then the following actions will be taken:

• wstETH-B will be onboarded in a future executive vote as the Protocol Engineering Core Unit's schedule allows.
• It is expected that this executive vote will take place within 30 days of this poll passing, absent external factors.
• If the executive vote passes, then these changes will become active in the Maker Protocol after the GSM Pause Delay has expired.

If the votes for the 'No' option equal or exceed the votes for the 'Yes' option then no further action will be taken at this time.
