--- title: Template - [Executive Vote] Parameter Changes, WSTETH-A Onboarding - October 22, 2021 summary: Raises GUNIV3DAIUSDC1-A Debt Ceiling, adjusts DC-IAM Parameters for ETH-A, ETH-B, and WBTC-A, and onboards WSTETH-A (Wrapped Staked ETH). date: 2021-10-22T00:00:00.000Z address: "0xc0Dc70048F678e0c9DA82aD11CdC063aA081d950" --- # [Executive Proposal] Parameter Changes, WSTETH-A Onboarding - October 22, 2021 The Governance Facilitator(s) and the Protocol Engineering Core Unit have placed an executive proposal into the voting system. MKR Holders should vote for this proposal if they support the following alterations to the Maker Protocol. If you are new to voting in the Maker Protocol, please see the [voting guide](https://community-development.makerdao.com/en/learn/governance/how-voting-works/) to learn how voting works, and this [wallet setup guide](https://community-development.makerdao.com/en/learn/governance/voting-setup/) to set up your wallet to vote. --- ## Executive Summary If this executive proposal passes, the following **changes** will occur within the Maker Protocol: - GUNIV3DAIUSDC1-A [Debt Ceiling](https://makerdao.world/en/learn/governance/param-debt-ceiling) will be **increased** from 10 million DAI to 50 million DAI. - ETH-A, ETH-B, and WBTC-A will have multiple [Debt Ceiling Instant Access Module](https://makerdao.world/en/learn/governance/module-dciam) Parameters adjusted as detailed below. - WSTETH-A (Wrapped Staked ETH) vault type will be onboarded to the Maker Protocol with the parameters detailed below. **Voting for this executive proposal will place your MKR in support of the changes and additions outlined above.** Unless otherwise noted, the changes and additions listed above are subject to the [GSM Pause Delay](https://community-development.makerdao.com/en/learn/governance/param-gsm-pause-delay). This means that if this executive proposal passes, the changes and additions listed above will only become active in the Maker Protocol after the GSM Pause Delay has expired. The GSM Pause Delay is currently set to **48 hours**. This executive proposal includes an office-hours modifier that means that it **can only be executed between 14:00 and 21:00 UTC, Monday - Friday**. This is to ensure that at least some auction keepers are available to react to unforeseen issues with their bots in the event of early liquidations on new collateral types. If this executive proposal does not pass within 30 days, then it will expire and can no longer have any effect on the Maker Protocol. --- ## Proposal Details ### GUNIV3DAIUSDC1-A Debt Ceiling As per [this poll](https://vote.makerdao.com/polling/QmU6fTQx?network=mainnet#poll-detail), the GUNIV3DAIUSDC1-A [Debt Ceiling](https://makerdao.world/en/learn/governance/param-debt-ceiling) will be **increased** from 10 million DAI to 50 million DAI if this executive proposal passes.
