MakerDAO Announces Plans for Fee System Changes
In a recent announcementMakerDAO stated that it closely monitors developments in the cryptocurrency market and has gained a better understanding of the impact of recent proposals.
As a result, the protocol recommends the next set of changes to its fee system. MakerDAO emphasized that new adjustments will likely be introduced soon depending on market dynamicssuch as pricing, demand for leverage, and the external fee environment that encompasses centralized funding fees (CeFi) and decentralized effective funding fees (DeFi).
The protocol further noted that the Maker fee system will be adjusted accordingly if the external fee environment continues to show signs of decline.
Efforts are underway to update the language of the tariff system under the Scope of Stability, including the development of a new iteration of the Exposure model. These updates aim to ensure that the system can adjust rates more gradually and effectively in the future.
Based on recommendations from BA Labs, a blockchain infrastructure provider, Stability Facilitator proposes several parameter changes to the Maker Rate system, which will be subject to a future vote by the Executive.
As shown in the table above, the proposed changes include reducing the Stability Fee by 2 percentage points for various collateral types such as ETH-A, ETH-B, ETH-C, WSTETH-A, WSTETH-B, WBTC-A , WBTC .-B, WBTC-C. Additionally, the Dai Savings Rate (DSR) and DAI Effective Lending Rate for Spark will also be reduced by 2 percentage points.
However, an active user of the protocol presented an alternative point of view, suggesting using the demand shock opportunity to expand the net interest margin. While agreeing to the proposed 2% interest rate reduction For borrowers, the user advocates a larger 4% reduction in DSR, which he believes will further benefit MakerDAO’s net interest margin.
Ultimately, the outcome of the voting process will determine whether these proposed changes are implemented and benefit MakerDAO stakeholders. Further decisions about rates and fees will be made based on the results.
