There are separate polls for the ETH-C, ETH-B, and all other vault types, so make sure you read through all.* [Lower the UNIV2DAIUSDC-A Liquidation Ratio ](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-lower-the-univ2daiusdc-a-liquidation-ratio/8487) [quote="hexonaut, post:1, topic:8487"] Now that we have liquidations-2.0 online, we get some flexibility with stable collaterals that previously needed larger buffers because they couldn’t be liquidated. One such collateral that I think is a good candidate is `UNIV2DAIUSDC-A`.

Due to the "office-hours" modifier, an execution delay that ensures keepers will be present when the Executive goes live, the update is eligible for execution tomorrow, June 2, at 14:00 UTC. ### Protocol Engineering Affirms Commitment to Multichain Strategy Derek Flossman, of the Protocol Engineering Core Unit, [posted a thread](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/a-multichain-strategy-and-roadmap-for-maker/8380/1) outlining the multichain landscape as their team sees it now, Maker's unique opportunities and challenges, and a proposed roadmap for community discussion. ### State of the Peg ![Peg](https://i.imgur.com/hY9Bbu5.png) - DAI peg super stable this week. ![](https://i.imgur.com/Gt8K9Qs.png) - Pretty tight band for the DAI price. ![Dai Supply](https://i.imgur.com/ZIa5gsX.png) - DAI Supply is still awaiting a global DC increase. Currently capped at 4.6 billion. ![](https://i.imgur.com/GczwD37.png) - PSM inflow on 5-29 was 203 million. ![](https://i.imgur.com/3UacdTA.png) - USDC is eating quite the share in Curve, likely accompanying the PSM raise. ![](https://i.imgur.com/RQZqeWz.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/zPciMc2.png) USDC PSM has officially flippened ETH for the time being. - PSM USDC 1.8 billion - ETH-A 1.6 billion - WBTC 297 million - USDC-A 240 million - ETH-C 219 million - PAX 69 million - YFI 45 million - ETH-B 44 million - LINK 36 million - TUSD 26 million - UniV2DaiEth 19.3 million - UniV2UsdcEth 13.7 million - UniV2UniEth 7.7 million - UNI 7.3 million - UniV2WBTCEth 6.1 million - renBTC 3.2 million - UniV2DaiUSDC 2.9 million - AAVE 2.1 million - NSDROP 1.9 Million - MANA 1.8 million - BAT 1.6 million - ZRX 1.5 million - LRC 713K - Other vaults below 500K (GUSD, KNC<>USDT, UniV2LINKETH UniV2AAVEETH, UniV2WBTCDAI, UniV2DAIUSDT, UniV2ETHUSDT, COMP) at 1.3 million. ![](https://i.imgur.com/zLnXXlB.png) - ETH-B vaults have the largest bucket at risk since the biggest vault has a 140% collateralization ratio. ![](https://i.imgur.com/Udvq3Vz.png) - Liquidation walls kick in significantly for ETH-B & C and WBTC at 15% drawdown. I guess it would be fitting if there is a NgU conference that number go down.
