V2 Interest Rates are live on Ethereum

Following successful passage of OOIP-11 on chain vote to enable migration of loans to interest rate v2 on Ethereum, the Ethereum deployment has been upgraded to use the interest rates v2 algorithm.

Ooki DAO originally launched V2 interest rates a few months ago on all chains except for Ethereum. Now that the dynamic interest rate mechanism has proven successful it has been successfully deployed to Ooki on Ethereum.

In case you missed the details of what V2 interest rates does, Ooki’s new dynamic interest rates improves the experience for borrowers and lenders by introducing a variety of significant overhauls to how lending and borrowing rates are calculated. A few features the new interest rate engine that are now enabled on Ethereum:

  • Removal of open position rollovers.
  • Dynamically adjust rates to ensure borrowers and lenders receive optimal rates when opening new positions on Ooki.
  • Target an 80% utilization rate and will keep pools optimally utilized.
  • Variable rate model, indefinite term loans, instead of fixed-rate loans with 28-day rollovers.
  • Dynamically changing rate curve.
