Clearpool, a decentralized credit marketplace, has announced the results of its most recent Oracle voting round. The voting concluded on May 31, 2024, and the outcomes were implemented on June 3, 2024. Twelve Oracles participated in this round, casting their votes on three critical parameters that will determine Clearpool’s interest rate curve for borrowers with an AA rating.
These parameters are Y0 (interest rate at 0% utilization), Ym (interest rate at Xm, the optimal utilization rate), and Y1 (interest rate at 100% utilization). The Oracles whose votes fell within the selected range were considered successful and included in the weighted average calculation, while those outside the range were excluded.
The results of the Oracle voting indicate that the interest rates have increased, aligning with the Oracles’ assessment of the current market pricing. The optimal interest rate (Ym) for AA-rated borrowers has risen from 13.54% to 13.80%. This means that borrowers will now face higher interest rates.
To determine the interest rates, the Credora score ranges were used. For scores between 850 and 1000, the rates were 15.38% for Y0, 13.80% for Ym, and 30.67% for Y1. For scores between 700 and 850, the rates were slightly higher, with Y0 at 16.02%, Ym at 14.44%, and Y1 at 31.31%. This pattern continued with increasing interest rates for lower score ranges, reflecting higher risk premiums.
Statistical parameters were calculated for the interest rates to ensure fairness and accuracy. The Interquartile Range (IQR) for Y0 was 1.49%, for Ym it was 2.90%, and for Y1 it was 7.25%. The upper boundary rates were 17.49% for Y0, 18.40% for Ym, and 42.25% for Y1. The lower boundaries were 13.02%, 9.70%, and 20.50% respectively. These boundaries helped filter out outlier votes, ensuring that only the most reliable data influenced the final interest rates.
The Oracle voting results were carefully analyzed, with notable participants including Amber Group, Auros, Azure Tide, and Sino Global Capital, among others. For example, Amber Group proposed rates of 14.51% for Y0, 10.81% for Ym, and 23.68% for Y1, which were all accepted within the acceptable range. Similarly, Azure Tide’s proposed rates of 16.00% for Y0, 15.50% for Ym, and 35.00% for Y1 were also accepted. However, not all votes were successful. Wintermute, for instance, had its Ym rate of 9.51% rejected, although its other rates were accepted. This rigorous evaluation process ensures that only the most accurate and representative rates are used in the final calculations.
After processing the votes, the final parameters for AA-rated borrowers were determined. The previous parameters for Y0, Ym, and Y1 were 15.15%, 13.54%, and 28.65% respectively. The new parameters are slightly higher, with Y0 at 15.38%, Ym at 13.80%, and Y1 at 30.67%. These adjustments reflect the changing market conditions and the collective input from the Oracles.
Clearpool is committed to maintaining transparency and fairness in its decentralized credit marketplace. The Oracle voting mechanism ensures that interest rates are determined through a consensus-driven approach, benefiting both borrowers and lenders in the ecosystem. The new parameters will be applied for the next epoch, enhancing the platform’s efficiency and competitiveness.
Clearpool’s approach highlights its dedication to using decentralized governance to establish market parameters, ensuring that the platform remains adaptive and fair. As the decentralized finance landscape continues to evolve, Clearpool’s methodology serves as a model for how decentralized platforms can effectively manage and adjust key financial parameters through collective input and data-driven decision-making.
