The First Wave Integrator Program has been announced by @StableLab and Viridian Advisory to integrate NewStable (NST), detailing a marketing fee structure for integrators that drive users to NST.
Maker Endgame introduces NewStable, a stablecoin with native Token Rewards. To incentivize its integration and the benefits it provides across the crypto ecosystem, projects can benefit from the Improved Accessibility Rewards, a system offering a Marketing Fee for driving users to NewStable.
The First Wave Integrator Program, promoted by @StableLab and Viridian Advisory, is open to projects in segments like L1s, L2s, wallets, exchanges, dApps, and consumer applications that share our DeFi core adoption vision. Evaluation criteria include:
• Live & Active Product: TVL and active use. • Community Reach: User engagement. • Segment Focus: Geographical or domain (ie L1/L2 focus). • Strategic Considerations: Aligned with Maker Endgame strategy of DeFi core adoption.
Selected integrators will also be eligible for technical and co-marketing support on a case-by-case basis. Applications are now open.
New proposals are up for voting in the Maker Governance portal.

🗳️ https://t.co/0qAD1Fluew
The proposal includes a DAO Resolution that outlines the proposed migration of USDC from the PSM-USDC-A to the LitePSM. If approved, this will result in the following changes to the Maker Protocol:
A new proposal to increase weETH capacity is up for voting in the Maker Governance Portal.
Since mid-June, weETH has seen strong demand, with deposits reaching several million within the first weeks of its integration into SparkLend. Due to this demand, the @phoenixlabsdev team has proposed changes to the weETH collateral parameters on Ethereum Mainnet to enhance the user experience and improve the ability to borrow DAI at scale.
Based on an assessment by @blockanalitica, the proposed changes are:
• weETH supply cap max: Increase from 50,000 weETH to 200,000 weETH. • weETH isolation mode debt ceiling: Increase from 50 million DAI to 200 million DAI.
For the full reasoning behind this proposal, read the original post in the Maker Forum: https://t.co/05XIgzynkN
Announcing the official Endgame audit contest, hosted on @sherlockdefi.
DeFi builders are invited to participate in the largest bug-finding contest in the space, with a total of 1,350,000 DAI in rewards, scheduled to run from July 8th through August 5th, 2024.
This is a unique opportunity to collaboratively strengthen the rock-solid security of Endgame products as Maker approaches Launch Season.
Reserve your spot by signing up at https://t.co/QyMkpUUuDS and let the hunt begin.
New proposals are now open for voting on the Maker Governance Portal.
Following @phoenixlabsdev's latest suggestions on the Maker Forum, three active polls are now open for voting on proposed changes to Spark’s MetaMorpho Vault, and SparkLend.
Due to the recent shift in demand towards sUSDe collateral pools, and based on @BlockAnalitica's recommendation, this proposal aims to increase the capacity in sUSDe pools to match their USDe counterparts:
• Increase the sUSDe 91.5% LLTV pool supply cap to 200 million DAI
• Increase the sUSDe 86% LLTV pool supply cap to 500 million DAI
[Gnosis] Onboard USDC.e as a Borrowable Asset
Gnosis Chain has introduced USDC.e, a new USDC token complying with Circle’s standards. Over the next few months, all USDC activity on the chain will transition to this version.
To maintain access to USDC liquidity on Gnosis Chain, it's recommended to list the new USDC.e token on SparkLend.
Initial parameters for USDC.e are detailed in the forum post: https://t.co/XSUN0oAycV
[Gnosis] Update USDC Parameters to Prepare for Offboarding
On-chain liquidity for the old version of USDC on Gnosis Chain is expected to decline in the coming months as usage transitions to the new USDC.e token.
To address this shift and protect user experience, a gradual deprecation of the old USDC token from the Gnosis Chain SparkLend market has been proposed.
If approved, these changes will be included in an upcoming Executive Vote.

The following changes will be executed within the Maker Protocol on June 5th, at 21:36 UTC:
⚡ Trigger Spark Proxy Spell
A Spark proxy spell at 0x7bcDd1c8641F8a0Ef98572427FDdD8c26D642256 will trigger the following changes:
SparkLend Interest Rate Model Update
Ethereum
• ETH: Reduce slope 1 to 2.5%.
• USDC and USDT: Change slope 1 to DSR + 1% and reduce slope 2 to 15%.
These adjustments make borrowing rates for ETH, USDC, and USDT more competitive and efficient.
Gnosis Chain
• ETH: Reduce slope 1 to 2.5%, and reduce optimal utilization to 80%.
• DAI: Reduce slope 1 to 9%, reduce slope 2 to 15% and increase optimal utilization to 95%.
• USDC, USDT, and EURe: Reduce slope 1 to 9%, reduce slope 2 to 15%, and increase optimal utilization to 95%.
These interest rate changes enhance borrowing efficiency and utilization on Gnosis Chain.
Update Spark’s MetaMorpho Vault Supply Caps
• Increase the supply cap of the sUSDe 91.5% LLTV pool to 100 million DAI.
• Increase the supply cap of the sUSDe 86% LLTV pool to 400 million DAI.
These changes, driven by market trends and user demand, allow for more DAI to be supplied, potentially increasing liquidity.
Turn Off Siloed Borrowing for All Stablecoins
• Turn off siloed borrowing for USDC and USDT on both Ethereum and Gnosis.
• Turn off siloed borrowing for EURe on Gnosis.
Removing borrowing restrictions for these stablecoins simplifies borrowing across the platform.
Disable Governance Bridge Security Delay
The bridge security delay for SparkLend governance on Gnosis will be reduced from 2 days to 0 days to streamline operations.
🔥 Smart Burn Engine (SBE) Parameter Updates
• The vow.hump (SBE Surplus Buffer Upper Limit) parameter will be increased to 55 million DAI.
This parameter sets the threshold for the Smart Burn Engine (SBE) to initiate transactions. The change, recommended by BA Labs, will enhance system resilience and reduce risks.
🏦 Approve RWA Foundation (RWAF) DAO Resolution
• RWAF DAO Resolution with IPFS hash Qmb8vLDH6wT4Y2axnJX1JSKVKHTG3jzX3U3novw886H8UR.
The resolution instructs the Director of RWAF to start the process of finding and onboarding an appropriate banking partner for RWAF.
🏛️ Approve Harbor Trade Credit (RWA004-A) DAO Resolution
• RWA004-A DAO Resolution with IPFS hash QmUiYTRy4BkV681tfFe3Ksj6gdLEq27w34MqLw5LvRaBoD.
The resolution allows the DAO to support HTC's case against Snakebyte in Germany and cover the legal costs.
A new proposal to onboard Etherfi’s weETH into SparkLend is now open for voting in the Maker Governance Portal.
$weETH is the largest Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) on the market. It is also the only large LRT with fully enabled withdrawals, ensuring stable liquidity and a strong peg to ETH.
Phoenix Labs has proposed listing weETH to increase DAI borrowing on SparkLend, given the low competition for borrowing USD stablecoins using LRT collateral.
The initial parameters and risk assessment are based on current market and liquidity conditions for weETH:
The Maker ecosystem saw significant movements with the upcoming Launch Season and the latest updates around Maker products.
Here are the month's highlights ↓
• In May, Stability Fees for different Maker Vaults decreased, boosting the total DAI supply and keeping it above 5 billion DAI.
• The current Total Value Locked (TVL) in the Maker Protocol closed the month at approximately $8.91 billion.
• The ETH-C vault holds the most value in total-value locked, with around $2.04 billion worth of ETH locked.
• In addition to traditional vaults, the Spark and Morpho D3Ms have shown strong performance. The Spark D3M is generating approximately $75 million in estimated annual revenue, while the Morpho D3M brings in around $52 million. These two are the biggest revenue generators for the Maker Protocol.
• Meanwhile, the DSR slightly decreased to 8%. Despite this, nearly 2 billion DAI remains deposited. The largest deposit method is sDAI, with approximately 1.2 billion sDAI.
With Endgame approaching, the future looks promising. And this is just the beginning.
