MakerDAO has approved a “Governance Vote” to introduce temporary fee adjustments to strengthen the protocol due to increased market volatility and optimistic sentiment leading to a decrease in reserves for its stablecoin, Dai.
This proposal is in response to the rapid decrease in Dai’s supply from $5 billion to $4.4 billion in the past seven days, as stated in the proposal from BA Labs, a member of Maker’s Stablecoin Advisory Board.
In the proposal, MakerDAO plans to expedite the approval process for stablecoin collateral if users choose to exchange a portion of the $1.1 billion real-world assets (RWA) available on the protocol.While Dai is overcollateralized, using RWAs as collateral assets would pose potential liquidity issues if Dai selling operations persist.
While MakerDAO’s ecosystem is currently stable, it believes in anticipating unpredictable user actions.
Proposed measures include changes to the Maker Vault, SparkLend DAI borrowing rate, Peg Stability Module (PSM), Dai Savings Rate, and Governance Security Module (GSM) delay.
