Proposal: Increase Maker DSR

Maker @MakerDAO

A proposal to increase the Dai Savings Rate (DSR) has been published by the MakerDAO Open Market Committee! After notable progress in investing MakerDAO's balance sheet into TradFi instruments, the mentioned proposal aims to distribute this yield to DAI holders through the DSR.

The Maker community proposes five options to adjust the DAI savings rate (DSR), which DSR determines the yields distributed to DAI holders.
The current DSR rate is at 0.01%, increasing the DSR may incentivize retention or increase DAI supply, which supports Maker’s liquidity position.
