Summary
The objective of this proposal is to adjust the slope1 interest rate parameter of the following assets as follows:
- axlUSDC from 12.5 to 20% (applies to Neutron and Osmosis).
- USDC from 12.5 to 20%.
- USDT from 12.5 to 20%.
- axlWETH from 10% to 4%
The proposed stablecoin changes follow the overall interest rate increases for stablecoins across DeFi. These changes will allow for the stablecoin rates within the Red Bank to be less volatile and to better reflect the current conditions of the market.
The proposed axlWETH change to decrease the interest rate comes after it has been observed the market has settled on a rate between 3-4%, and so we will target this rate at 60% utilization rather than 20% to increase efficiency of the market.
Risks
We don’t foresee any meaningful risks stemming from this proposal.
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.
