For example, there is currently $14.2 million worth of MATIC backing Dai, but the proposal would lower the debt ceiling for MATIC to $10 million. This would mean that users would no longer be able to mint new Dai by depositing MATIC.<\/p>\n<p>In the proposal, Primoz sought to calm users and express that the changes may only be temporary:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen the situation becomes clearer and the environment less risky, we (@Risk-Core-Unit) or either MOMC will propose further parameter changes to adjust parameters based on the future state. While we do not necessarily want current positions to unwind, we want to limit further possible exposure.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Over the past few days, the crypto community has been rocked by the news that FTX, the world\u2019s third-largest crypto exchange by volume, did not have enough liquidity to handle all customer withdrawals. This event started a contagion that has spread through the crypto market, leading many coins to have huge losses.<\/p>\n<p>MakerDAO has turned out to be the latest victim of this contagion. As the value of the collateral backing Dai has fallen, debt levels have risen too high for the comfort of the Risk Core Unit team. This may lead to lower debt ceilings and increasing frustration for borrowers who wish to mint new Dai.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/makerdao-risk-core-unit-makes-urgent-parameter-change-request-in-light-of-recent-market-events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MakerDAO Risk Core Unit, a key<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":166799,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
