Following the recent [announcement](https://x.com/ethena_labs/status/1961082853808320987) to maintain the aforementioned liquid leverage structure for the foreseeable future (such that depositors will continue to generate sUSDe staking yield on top of aUSDe interest), as mentioned above, we will perform an increase in the Optimal Utilization parameter to 90% through the Risk Steward over the course of two updates.

| **Instance** | **Asset** | **Current Uoptimal** | **Recommended Uoptimal** |
