This executive proposal includes an office-hours modifier that means that it can only be executed between 14:00 and 21:00 UTC, Monday - Friday.

Adjusting Auction Parameters for ETH Vault Types
Given the successful outcome of this poll, the following recommendations of the Risk Core Unit will be implemented if this executive proposal passes.
For further information, you may view this thread detailing the Core Unit's recommendations.
Increasing Local Liquidation Limits (ilk.hole)
- ETH-A Local Liquidation Limit from 22 million DAI to 30 million DAI
- ETH-B Local Liquidation Limit from 8 million DAI to 15 million DAI
- ETH-C Local Liquidation Limit from 5 million DAI to 20 million DAI
ETH-B Adjustments
- Decrease Price Change Interval (
step) from 90 seconds to 60 seconds - Decrease Auction Price Multiplier (
buf) from 1.3 to 1.2
Lowering the UNIV2DAIUSDC-A Liquidation Ratio and Stability Fee
Given the successful outcome of this Signal Request and this subsequent poll, the following changes will be implemented if this executive proposal passes.
Vault Type Changes
- The Liquidation Ratio for UNIV2DAIUSDC-A will be decreased from 105% to 102%.
- The Stability Fee for UNIV2DAIUSDC-A will be decreased from 1.0% to 0.5%.
Note: The Oracle Domain Team has decided a 102% Liquidation Ratio will be used instead of the 101% that was favored for this Vault Type, due to the oracle risk of estimating the size of the Uniswap Pool as fees accumulate. The Risk Core Unit has additionally decided that liquidations should remain off for the vault type, at this time. You may view a discussion of these decisions on the Governance and Risk Call for June 10, 2021.
Whitelist Yearn Finance on UNIUSD, LINKUSD, AAVEUSD, COMPUSD Oracles
Given the successful outcome of this poll, Yearn Finance will be added to the UNIUSD, LINKUSD, AAVEUSD, and COMPUSD Oracle Security Module whitelists to read current and queued price data if this executive proposal passes.
