The Governance Facilitators have placed a Governance Poll into the voting system on behalf of the Ecosystem team. This Governance Poll will be active for three days beginning on Monday, September 16 at 16:00 UTC.

This is a binary vote.

• You may vote for a single option.
• You should vote for the option which you prefer.
• If you would accept either option, you should vote 'Abstain'.

Review

The community can vote in this poll to express support or opposition to the WBTC collateral types offboarding parameters described below.

The WBTC collateral types offboarding will take place progressively over the course of several Executive Votes. The tentative starting date for the Executive Vote corresponding to this Governance Poll can be found below under Outcomes.

SparkLend

• Reduce Liquidation Threshold from 65% to 50%.
• Update Cap Automator parameters:
  • Reduce Supply Cap gap from 100 WBTC to 50 WBTC.
  • Reduce Supply Cap max from 3,500 WBTC to 2,500 WBTC.

This Governance Poll does not include legacy vault parameter changes; it only includes SparkLend parameter changes.

For more details on the Cap Automator parameters, please visit this forum post.

Please review the discussion thread to help inform your position before voting.

Outcomes

If the votes for the 'Yes' option exceed the votes for the 'No' option then the following actions will be taken:

• This change will be included in an upcoming Executive Vote with tentative starting date October 31, 2024.
• It is expected that this Executive Vote will take place within 30 days of this poll passing, absent external factors.
• If the Executive Vote passes, then these changes will become active in the Sky Protocol after the GSM Pause Delay has expired.

If the votes for the 'No' option equal or exceed the votes for the 'Yes' option then no further action will be taken at this time.
