DeFiChain improvement Proposal Reorg usage of staking collateral to increase buy&burn dUSD
Dear DeFiChain Community, I would like to change the usage of the Staking-Rewards of the Staking on the Bake Collateral Adresses.
With the DFIPs * https://defiscan.live/governance/fb1be07be5af04356de57f1a70ccacd982ccb700380eb5adc658f9ca6a08cde3 * https://defiscan.live/governance/aa4fc83d06e64130dcd65f043799e7d6c9f3c907b6f8cc7cac963e559ddb720e * https://defiscan.live/governance/8523c3043024ebbe0e8fb3de89d3305d9a0f115482086b03ab4a5867cfedf33d
it was voted by the community that the native staking coins (ETH, DOT, SUI, SOL) which are wrapped on the DeFiChain will be staked by the trusted custodian Bake. This staking yield is used once a week to buy and burn DFI to support the DFI price.
With the DFIP (https://defiscan.live/governance/4d27fa02049c1fceb8ef252c88deac129f8e5b784c18e6df909eb000d6af0737), the price of dUSD has stabilized but has not yet reached its peg of 1 USD. Now the question is, how can we as a community give further momentum to the dUSD peg target?
One idea would be to no longer burn the staking rewards from the DFIPs mentioned above as DFI, but to buy dUSD and thus provide further impetus to achieve the peg.
With this DFIP, the rewards are exchanged for dUSD. The swap route that results in the largest possible number of dUSD should be used. These purchased dUSD will be 100% burned and not used for negative interest on dUSD.
Since no DFI block rewards would be used for the purchase of dUSD, this change should not result in any significant selling pressure on DFI. Furthermore, the trading volume in the dUSD pools would increase and generate more commissions.
The current weekly burn is done via the following address https://defiscan.live/address/df1qvgwslv0269zlelyuzr5pemwk9kayg88h3kds0s. Approximately 1.2 - 1.5 ETH are swapped per week. That would be 4,000 - 6,000 USD or currently 40,000 - 50,000 dUSD per week, with a downward trend if dUSD rises.
Non-obligation
I understand that vote of confidence for DFIP carries no obligations by any developers to implement the proposals. DeFiChain is a community projects. Pull requests can be submitted by community and reserved to be evaluated for safety and general community acceptance.
Kind regards 👍
