Summary
The objective of this proposal is to reduce the deposit caps of all Farm markets to 0 axlUSDC, effectively deprecating them. The rationale for this will be explored below.
Motivation
Given the Osmosis liquidity and incentives migration from XYK to Supercharged Liquidity pools, all of these Farm markets have experienced significant decreases in utilization. At the moment, all of these markets are completely unutilized or close to being so. Furthermore, we believe that the relative low APY currently offered by these markets is a trend that will continue in the future, as more activity ends up organically migrating to Supercharged Liquidity pools. As such, we don’t expect demand for these products to significantly increase in the future. This makes the proposed decrease the logical and conservative step to take, as keeping high, unutilized caps exposes the protocol to risks that are not worth taking.
Decreasing the caps to 0 will have no effect on current active positions. Those positions will not be liquidated and depositors will be able to withdraw from the markets they’re participating in whenever they choose to do so. The new caps only affect new positions. Given that they’re being set to 0, effectively no new deposits will be allowed on those markets.
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.
