🚀 MakerDAO's SparkLend To Launch First Token Under Rebranded Sky

According to Odaily, MakerDAO's rebranded entity, Sky, announced on the X platform that SparkLend will be the first to issue tokens under the new Stars brand, previously known as subDAO. Subject to governance approval, SparkLend's token, SPK, will be distributed to eligible users through Sky Token Rewards. These users will deposit USDS (stablecoin) to receive new tokens during each new Star token release. SPK pre-farming has been operational for over a year, allowing SparkLend users to earn pre-allocations, which will be claimable upon the launch of SPK.

🚀 MakerDAO to Vote on Removing wBTC from Ecosystem

According to Odaily, MakerDAO is set to vote on a proposal to completely remove wBTC from its ecosystem, a significant development for the DeFi sector given the platform's $200 million wBTC collateral loans. On Thursday, BA Labs proposed a five-step plan to gradually eliminate all wBTC collateral exposure, starting on September 26. Each step will be subject to a vote.

BA Labs stated in its proposal, 'We found that legal due diligence could not provide sufficient assurance.' If the proposal is approved, BA Labs suggests introducing alternative products to the platform. Currently, on Sky's lending platform SparkLend, wBTC collateral loans are valued at approximately $73 million, while the legacy vault under Sky holds about $127 million in wBTC-collateralized debt.

🚀 Sky Protocol Announces WBTC Withdrawal Plan From SparkLend

According to Foresight News, the DeFi protocol Sky (formerly MakerDAO) has released its second notice regarding the withdrawal of WBTC-A, WBTC-B, WBTC-C, and WBTC from SparkLend. The plan, outlined by Block Analitica, details that the withdrawal of WBTC from traditional vaults (WBTC-A, WBTC-B, and WBTC-C) and SparkLend will be executed in multiple steps through several executive votes, pending governance approval. The withdrawal process is expected to commence with an administrative vote on September 26, 2024.

Users of traditional vaults and SparkLend holding WBTC are advised to follow Block Analitica's recommendations and close their positions with WBTC collateral to avoid liquidation. This step is crucial to ensure a smooth transition and mitigate potential risks associated with the withdrawal process.

🚀 Spark Prime Proposes Changes to Ethereum Network Collateral

According to PANews, Spark Prime has proposed modifications to the collateral system within SparkLend on the Ethereum network. The proposal suggests disabling sUSDS and sDAI as collateral by setting their supply caps to one and adjusting the maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio to 0%. The liquidation threshold for stablecoin emode will remain unchanged, ensuring that existing positions do not face new liquidation risks.

Additionally, the proposal includes an increase in the PYUSD interest rate model benchmark to align with the Sky Savings Rate (SSR) and a reduction of Slope 1 to 2%. These adjustments aim to stabilize borrowing rates and enhance PYUSD circulation. The proposed changes are subject to review by Sky governance and the Stability Facilitator before being included in the next execution vote.
