Adrian Cachinero explains that Steakhouse mitigates its own discretion as a counterparty by giving users the ability to stop its decision-making through a V2M mechanism and an Aragon DAO. If users disagree with a proposed collateral onboarding, they have veto power, removing discretion from the equation and aligning with a philosophy of user control and risk mitigation.
“One of these ways is giving the user the ability to stop our decision-making through the V2M mechanism. We build an Aragon DAO around the Vault and we make the Vault user participate, so to speak.”
“So if they disagree with a collateral onboarding decision that we propose, they have the ability to stop it. Like these types of on-chain mechanisms would be ways for us to remove the discretion out of the equation.”
