This UMIP proposes adding token for use as collateral in UMA contracts.
The addition of this collateral currency offers additional functionality to the UMA protocol and increases the range of contracts that can be built.
To accomplish this upgrade, the following changes need to be made:
- The token address token address (etherscan link) needs to be added to the collateral currency whitelist introduced in UMIP-8.
- A final fee of amount token needs to be added for token in the Store contract.
This store fee was chosen as it is approximately equivalent to $1500 in line with other collateral currencies as determined by insert how the value of $1500 was determined
This change has no implementations other than the aforementioned governor transactions
Adding a collateral currency introduces a level of risk into the UMA Ecosystem. This collateral type should be monitored to ensure that the proposed collateral continues to have value.
Contract deployers considering using this collateral in an UMA contract should refer to the guidelines on collateral type usage to ensure appropriate use.
