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

Proposal

This proposal requests expanding nBTC from the current static rate limit of 10% to 20%. This is requested as a deposit of nBTC recently hit the static rate limit and was rejected, showing that the 10% limit is too low to meet legitimate demand for BTC inflows directly from Bitcoin via the Nomic decentralized bridge. This proposal is being loaded directly to the chain without the forum period as BTC deposits are currently waiting on this parameter change.
