Summary
The objective of this proposal is to adjust the LTVs and Liquidation Bonuses of several markets within the Red Bank and Farm. The motivation behind doing so is twofold:
- Since launch, some parameters might have already been outdated.
- Since previously the price source for most assets was TWAP-based, some additional conservative precautions were made in relation to the LTVs and Liquidation Bonuses of those assets. Specifically, for some assets with relatively low onchain liquidity, their LTVs were capped below what was suggested by the framework to adjust for the TWAP manipulation risk. In the same vein, the liquidation bonuses for most of these assets were set very conservatively to control for the natural TWAP-spot price lag. Now that most assets have migrated to Pyth, these additional precautions are no longer needed.
We believe the proposed adjustments will make the protocol more efficient without sacrificing the conservatism and risk aversion that characterizes Mars.
Specification
After running all current assets through the Mars Risk Framework, we propose the following adjustments:
| Asset | Current Max. LTV | Current Liq. LTV | Current L. Bonus | Proposed Max. LTV | Proposed Liq. LTV | Proposed L. Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| axlUSDC | 74% | 75% | 10% | 79.5% | 80% | 7.5% |
| axlWBTC | 64% | 65% | 12.5% | 78% | 80% | 10% |
| axlWETH | 63% | 65% | 12.5% | 78% | 80% | 10% |
| ATOM | 68% | 70% | 15% | 74% | 75% | 10% |
| OSMO | 59% | 61% | 15% | 73% | 75% | 10% |
| axlWETH/OSMO LP | 65% | 67% | 12.5% | 75% | 77% | 12.5% |
| axlWBTC/OSMO LP | 59% | 62% | 12.5% | 75% | 77% | 12.5% |
| axlUSDC/OSMO LP | 65% | 66% | 15% | 75% | 77% | 12.5% |
| ATOM/OSMO LP | 63% | 65% | 15% | 73% | 75% | 12.5% |
| stATOM/ATOM LP | 61% | 62.5% | 15% | 64% | 65% | 15% |
Note: For stATOM we propose no adjustments since it still uses a TWAP as its price source (the stATOM/ATOM adjustment is the result of the ATOM adjustment, while keeping stATOM parameters the same). For AXL no adjustments are proposed since it was listed just a couple weeks ago.
Implementation
This is a signaling proposal, not an executable proposal.
The Mars smart contracts on the Osmosis 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.
