[Mainnet, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Unichain, Avalanche] Spark Liquidity Layer - Upgrade Controller to v1.8 - November 17, 2025

Spark's Operational Facilitator has placed a proposal into the voting system on behalf of nested contributor Phoenix Labs.

Review

The Spark community can hereby express support or opposition to the following changes, as described by the author of the proposal:

The controller v1.8 upgrade introduces new integrations for the SLL, specifically support for OTC desk throttling and Savings vault rate-setting, but these features largely connect existing, already-live components rather than adding new protocol logic. With automation handled by the established SLL and Savings vaults already operational, the change represents an extension of current functionality rather than a substantive redesign. Given the bounded scope of the changes and prior auditing by Certora and Cantina, we see no risks introduced by this upgrade that would prevent it proceeding to vote.
