[MRC-112] stATOM LTV Increase

Summary

The objective of this proposal is to increase the Maximum LTV and Liquidation LTV for stATOM on the Neutron outpost of the Red Bank. When stATOM was initially listed on Neutron, the LTV parameters were fairly conservative. This proposal seeks to adjust the LTV parameters and align them with these parameters on Osmosis.

LTV Update

We propose to increase the LTV parameters as follows:

  • Max. LTV from 44.50% to 69%.
  • Liquidation LTV from 45% to 70%.

Motivation

When stATOM was initially listed on Neutron [MRC-43], the LTV parameters were more conservative as the liquidity conditions were unknown at the time. This could unnecessarily restrict usage of stATOM within Mars.

This proposal aims to fix this by increasing the LTVs and making them consistent with Osmosis.

Risks

According to the Mars Risk Framework, we believe that the above proposed LTVs are conservative enough given the high liquidity levels of the asset, both on-chain and offchain.

Implementation

This is a signaling proposal, not an executable proposal.

The Mars smart contracts on the Neutron chain are currently controlled by the Builder Multisig address. If this proposal passes, the builders will utilize their multisig to make the necessary parameter changes.
