Executive Vote: Raise the ETH and USDC-A Debt Ceilings

July 20, 2020

The Maker Foundation Interim Governance Facilitator has placed an Executive Vote into the voting system which will enable the community to approve the following alterations to the protocol as outlined in this forum thread: [Signal Request] Should we raise the ETH-A and USDC-A debt ceilings.

Therefore, voting for this Executive will:

  • Raise ETH-A by 40m from 180m to 220m
  • Raise USDC-A by 40m from 40m to 80m

This will raise the global debt ceiling to 345m.

The Executive Vote (FAQ) will continue until the number of votes surpass the total in favor of the previous Executive Vote. This is a continuous approval vote.

Review

These changes were discussed in the most recent Governance call. Please review the VideoAudio, and the online discussion to inform your position before voting.

The MakerDAO community is moving forward with an Executive Vote to determine whether it will enact the changes established by the previous Governance Polls.

Action

Voting for this proposal will place your MKR in support of implementing the changes outlined above.
