Simple Summary

This SCCP proposes to lower the exchange fee on sETH/sUSD on L1 and and L2 temporarily to zero, in coordination with the Treasury Council, in order to facilitate full unwind of the sETH wrapper on the ethereum network:

  • swap enough sUSD to sETH to unwind the sETH wrapper on L1
  • unwrap the sETH on L1 by burning the sETH
  • send the wETH to L2
  • wrap the wETH to mint sETH
  • swap the sETH back to sUSD
  • send sUSD back to L1 (with 7 day delay)

Abstract

The fee levers that need to be updated are as follows:

  • on ethereum, setAtomicExchangeFeeRate would be used on sETH to update the fee to zero
  • on optimism setExchangeFeeRate would be used on sETH to update the fee to zero
  • on optimism setExchangeDynamicFeeRounds would be used on sETH to lower the number of rounds to 1 (effectively disabling dynamic fees)

Motivation

The proposed changes in this SCCP is part of a suite of pre-requisite changes done, in order to facilitate migration of spot synths on L1 as specified in SIP-2059 and unwinding of the debt pool skew.

Important to note that all parameters are restored back to previous levels following the full unwind of the sETH wrapper on L1.
