Summary Increase collateral factor for GNO from C1 (zero) to C5 (60%).
Motivation GnosisDAO is a long-term player committed to the success of C.R.E.A.M. Finance by holding 4-year-locked iceCREAM, participating in its governance and providing significant ETH and GNO liquidity to the protocol.
GNO listing on C.R.E.A.M. was a crucial first step to enabling collateralised lending for GNO holders. Increasing GNO's collateral factor would give additional utility for GNO token holders and incentivise activity in C.R.E.A.M. Finance.
Asset Details: GNO is the token that represents the governance of the GnosisDAO. GNO is a very liquid token that currently allows trades of 400K USDT with a price impact lower than 2% as shown on https://cowswap.exchange
At the time of writing $2.7MM worth of GNO is already deposited to C.R.E.A.M. GNO token holders are demonstrating continued interest using GNO in DeFi with +$45MM liquidity provided to Balancer and Uniswap pools and +8MM in Unit Protocol.
