Supporting Data
DAI Cap Recommendations
Borrow Cap Usage
The DAI Borrow Cap has increased over the 75% threshold.
DAI Circulating Supply and Holders
Gauntlet doesn’t recommend an increase in Supply Cap and instead suggests a decrease in both the Supply cap and Borrow cap to 5,000,000 and 4,500,000 respectively.
DAI’s circulating supply has been dropping at an average rate of 172k DAI/day in the past 3 months reaching a point where the current supply cap on Moonwell is greater than the circulating supply. The above recommendations are made as preventive measure to not accumulate bad-debt to the protocol.
The largest positions supplying DAI are borrowing correlated assets or borrrowing recursively. Gauntlet will continue to monitor these positions closely.
