Changing SAI reserve factor to 100% and collateral factor to 65%
01Summary
Proposal to close the SAI market by setting SAI reserve factor to 100% (eliminating supplier interest) and reducing collateral factor from 75% to 65%, with analysis indicating no liquidations at current prices.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Reserve factor set to 100% - SAI suppliers will no longer receive interest, motivating users to migrate from SAI(high)
- Collateral factor reduced from 75% to 65% - applies pressure on borrowers using SAI as collateral(high)
- Analysis shows current market conditions would not cause liquidations of analyzed accounts (those holding 50+ SAI)(medium)
Notable concerns
- This is the first in a series of proposals intended to gradually close the SAI market
- Further collateral factor reductions are expected in recurring future proposals
- Borrowers using SAI as collateral will face increased pressure despite no immediate liquidations

02Description
Changing SAI reserve factor to 100% and collateral factor to 65%
This is the first proposal that intent to slowly close the SAI market, following this there will likely be recurring proposals to continue lower the collateral factor.
Reserve Factor
SAI suppliers will no longer receive interest, this ensures that users will no longer be motivated to keep their SAI and start migrating.
Collateral Factor
Lowering the collateral factor will put pressure on borrowers that use SAI as collateral. Going from 75% to 65% with the current market prices would not cause any liquidation on the analyzed accounts.

(The list does not contain accounts that hold less than 50 SAI)
03Mismatch analysis
The proposal describes two actions: (1) raising SAI's reserve factor to 100% so suppliers stop earning interest, and (2) lowering SAI's collateral factor from 75% to 65% to pressure borrowers while avoiding liquidations. The decoded calldata contains exactly two actions matching this: action 0 calls _setReserveFactor(1e18) which equals 100% in 18-decimal fixed point, targeting the cSAI token contract. Action 1 calls _setCollateralFactor with the cSAI market address and 650000000000000000, which equals 65% in the same fixed-point format, executed via the Comptroller contract as expected for this function. Both values convert correctly to the percentages stated in the description, and the targets (cSAI market) align with the proposal's stated intent to modify SAI market parameters. No additional actions, omissions, or target mismatches are present. The description does not claim the starting collateral factor is verified on-chain (75%), but this is contextual framing, not a discrepancy since the actual set-value matches. Overall the prose and calldata are fully aligned with no numerical, target, or scope discrepancies.
