Decentralized Autonomous Organization MakerDAO has upped its demands to increase one of its network fees, this time to 7.5 percent, the company confirmed in a blog post on March 18.
Maker, which issues USD-pegged stablecoin Dai, is seeking to improve the cryptocurrency's stability.
The organization aims to do so by raising its so-called Stability Fee, a charge levied by Maker participants when Dai is used for loans on its network.
As Cointelegraph reported, March had already seen a governance poll ask users to approve a fee hike of up to 5.5 percent, which users subsequently approved.
A new poll, which began March 18 and will run through March 21, wants to boost this figure yet again.
"Based on last week's governance call, the MakerDAO community is moving forward with a Governance Poll to gauge sentiment for an additional Stability Fee increase," Maker explained in the blog post.
Developers had previously stated that earlier increases had not impacted negatively on the Maker ecosystem.
Speaking to tech news publication BreakerMag, CEO Rune Christensen continued the calm tone over Dai, admitting its inexact dollar peg would likely continue.
"It's never exactly at $1. You can always buy it for slightly above $1 and sell it for slightly below. But it's much closer to $1 now," he said.
At press time, Dai was trading at $0.9938 per coin, while Maker's MKR averaged around $706.30 on major exchanges.
