A Solend DAO Proposal Stirs Controversy

By Juan Aranovich

The day before this day morning, Solend DAO, a DeFi lending and borrowing protocol on Solana, passed a controversial governance proposal.

The proposal goals to “mitigate risk imposed by a individual with a shining margin station on Solend,” as used to be outlined in a weblog put up. Briefly, the DAO member proposed to speedy rob over the whale’s story to liquidate its station over the counter. In this kind, they claimed, the liquidation would no longer impose a systemic risk to the protocol and the total blockchain.

Based totally on the weblog, and confirmed by on-chain recordsdata, this individual has 5.7 million SOL deposited (~$170 million) and $108 million of borrowed USDC and USDT. If the price of SOL were to tumble to $22.30 (it used to be at $33.80 as of press time), the story would change into liquidatable for as much as 20% of the borrows (~$21 million). “Letting a liquidation of this size to occur on-chain is amazingly unstable,” they said.

Based totally on the Solend DAO crew, “It’d be advanced for the market to absorb such an impression since liquidators generally market promote on DEXes” and “Solend could maybe stop up with injurious debt.”

The crew has been making efforts to contact this individual by contrivance of on-chain message and by contrivance of Twitter, nonetheless bought no response. Mentioning “there is never any supreme answer,” they determined to position out this proposal for a vote, which passed with overwhelming give a enhance to – 97.5%.

Nonetheless, 90% of the total votes came staunch from one wallet, calling into ask how decentralized it used to be.

Social media used to be up in hands, with a gargantuan collection of folk asserting the vote went against the ethos of crypto and decentralized finance. Cobie, co-founding father of Lido and UpOnlyTv, known because it “Comedy”. Dylan LeClair, senior analyst at UMXO Administration, criticized the proposal and implied that Solend is no longer a decentralized protocol. “‘Decentralized’ in name ideal,” he wrote.

Nonetheless, others belief otherwise. “Code is no longer regulation; we make the regulations together,” tweeted a Solana developer.

SLND, the token of the Solend protocol, dropped 2.5% on a day when many crypto costs rose, with BTC and ETH pumping almost 9% and 14% respectively.
