Alloyed BTC: Increase ckBTC static limit to 20%

Proposal Discussion Alloyed Assets

This proposal would expand the static rate limit of ckBTC within Alloyed BTC to 20%.

Alloyed BTC

Alloyed BTC was recognized as the canonical Bitcoin on Osmosis in Proposal 813.

It currently has around 62 BTC in supply on Osmosis, and consists of:

  • WBTC.axl (Axelar bridge from Ethereum) (75% cap)
  • WBTC (Natively Issued on Osmosis) (100% cap)
  • nBTC (Nomic Bridged Bitcoin) (5% cap)
  • ckBTC (Chain-key Bitcoin) (10% cap)

This proposal requests expanding ckBTC from the initial static rate limit of 10% to 20%, as the 10% limit has been consistently neared recently, indicating demand for a greater proportion of the alloy to be composed of ckBTC.
This allows the BTC alloy room to expand from more external sources while maintaining bounds similar to other more diverse alloys, such as the 20% limits placed on recent additions to Alloyed USDT in proposals 831, 854 and 857

Go for it :slight_smile:

Having more diverse assets building the alloyed BTC is a good thing imo. Especially if the underlying asset is already around for longer and has proven itself it should be safe to expand the limits.
