Motivation
In response to the latest iterations and market conditions, we would like to propose the implementation of crucial updates to our longstanding LST and LRT vaults.
In [PIP-031] we made significant changes to the parameters of collaterals on Prisma bringing Prisma in line with other CDP protocols across the wider ecosystem. The original vaults that Prisma introduced during its launch had a 4% interest rate cap, the newer vaults we introduced in [PIP-019] improve the range of tools available to help maintain the mkUSD & ULTRA price peg.
The new LRT vaults have been introduced with some optimizations to redemptions making it more efficient.

- Reduce maximum debt to 0
- Disable emission receivers

Benefits
These changes significantly improve how the DAO can help maintain the peg for mkUSD and ULTRA based on changing market conditions. With mint fees set at 0% it allows for more competitive short-term borrowing on Prisma while increasing fee revenue for PRISMA lockers.
Next Steps
Following community feedback, three snapshot votes will be scheduled to formalize consensus. Upon approval, we will deploy the necessary smart contracts and prepare the on-chain vote.
