Summary:
dForce lending protocol has been operating smoothly since its deployment in March 2021, and it is necessary to re-assess risk parameters for supported assets. All proposed adjustments will be applicable to dForce lending protocols deployed on Ethereum, BSC, and the soon-to-be-launched Arbitrum.
Background:
After 6 months of steady operation, dForce Lending now boast over $120m supplied assets, and it is necessary to perform another assessment for supported assets in order to further understand each specific instance of risk and manage them more effectively.
Proposal:
Please refer to the table below for risk parameters of supported assets on dForce Lending, with proposed changes highlighted in RED:
On Ethereum:
On BSC:
Key takeaways from the revision:
-
Add collateral support to USDT on Ethereum. We propose to extend collateral support to USDT on Ethereum in compliance with BSC (USDT-backed loans have been activated on BSC already). USDT has been significantly de-risked over the past 6 months, with increased transparency on the breakdown of its reserves (examined by Moor Cayman) and the release of Consolidated Reserve Report.
-
Increase the LTV of USX and EUX from 70% to 80%. We propose to increase the LTV of USX and EUX to 80% after months of market-validated operation, which is quite a common parameter with stablecoins, allowing the interest rate of USX and EUX to stay in line with the broader market with improved capital efficiency.
-
We also propose to adjust the Reserve Factor for some of the supported assets, achieving unified standards across Ethereum and BSC.
