Sky proposes permissioned automation of stUSDS rates and limits

What happened

Sky contributors published a concrete proposal to authorize a TechOps keeper to calculate and submit stUSDS rates, supply caps and borrowing ceilings.

What changed

The proposed operating model adds an automated off-chain calculator and on-chain meta-parameter registry. Soter Labs recommends tightening each permitted rate step from 15 to 5 percentage points during the transition.

What did not change

The proposal uses the existing governance-bounded StUsdsRateSetter. Keeper authorization, automated submissions and the proposed limit reductions are not established as executed.

Confirmed

• The proposal names StUsdsRateSetter 0x30784615252B13E1DbE2bDf598627eaC297Bf4C5.
• The official scope describes a deployed ValueRegistry at 0xcDb55A799A9B9eAe22Ed0E13037bb6D2E3f1d080.
• Soter Labs identifies the registry operator as a 2-of-3 multisig controlled by its GovOps operators.
• TechOps supplies keeper address 0x068F9c8F33E13c18B852877A5D8Ec61504971376.
• The calculation algorithm remains closed-source; governance-defined setter limits remain the proposed on-chain protection.

Still open

• October 8 spell authorization and final setter limits.
• Initial registry configuration and subsequent keeper enablement.
• First successful keeper transaction and operating handover.
• Independent reproducibility of the closed-source rate calculation.

What it means for an advisor

• Review Sky’s diligence file for the new operator and meta-parameter control dependencies.
• Distinguish stUSDS risk-capital mechanics from ordinary sUSDS savings in exposure descriptions.
• Verify execution and first submissions before describing automation or tighter limits as operative.
