- 17 TRIBE For,
- 0 Against
What does it do: Whitelists the DeFiGeek Community address as a pool creator for Rari Pool Fuse #102.

The first of which is Yamato Protocol, which allows users to generate CJPY (a crypto-backed stablecoin pegged to the JPY) by leveraging ETH. DeFiGeek Community has the largest TVL for an unverified pool of Fuse and by enabling them to create verified pools it would help grow Rari’s user base.
Takeaway: DeFiGeek Community are now a verified pool creator.
Maker
On-Chain Proposal: Recover DAI from Optimism Escrow, Changes to Uniswap LP Vault Debt Floor Parameters, Delegate Compensation
Created: January 14th, 2022
Passed: Yes,
- 76,233.87 MKR For
What does it do:
Makes the following changes to the Maker Protocol:
- Transfers 10 million DAI from the Optimism Escrow to a user, who previously burned the DAI accidently on the optimism chain as per this signal request
- Increases the Debt Floor for the following Uniswap LP Vault types:
- UNIV2DAIETH-A from 15,000 DAI to 60,000 DAI
- UNIV2USDCETH-A from 15,000 DAI to 60,000 DAI
- UNIV2WBTCDAI-A from 15,000 DAI to 60,000 DAI
- UNIV2WBTCETH-A from 15,000 DAI to 25,000 DAI
- UNIV2UNIETH-A from 15,000 DAI to 25,000 DAI
- Transfer a total of 48,290 DAI to seven Recognised Delegates as a part of the Delegate Compensation Trial
Why:
A user accidently sent $10M DAI to a 0 address, thus burning the funds unintentionally due to the burn function being confused with that of this contract. These funds can be returned via an executive vote from the Optimism escrow, and will be returned given that the proposal has been passed.
Debt Floors (the minimum permitted debt for a vault) are being increased to increase the margin of safety for LP vault types to match other vaults. This is because higher Debt Floors make vaults less accessible for smaller user, but also removes the risk that vaults may be too small to liquidate profitably.
Recognised Delegates are being rewarded for their contributions, as was laid out in the Delegate Compensation Trial. Details of delegate compensation for December can be found here.
Takeaway: The lost funds will be returned, debt floors will rise to increase the margin of safety for LP vault types and Recognised Delegates will be rewarded for their efforts!
