On July 8th, an external issue with the BROTHER oracle feed caused a disruption that temporarily brought down the Nostra frontend. This incident highlighted risks in continuing support for assets with unreliable infrastructure.
This proposal seeks to sunset BROTHER from the Nostra Money Market by reducing its caps to zero and permanently removing it from the frontend. A guide will be published to help users withdraw directly via smart contracts.
Given the urgency, this proposal will move to a Snapshot vote after 48 hours of discussion.

Voting Options
For: Approve sunsetting BROTHER support and removing it from the frontend.
I’m in support of this proposal. The recent oracle failure affecting BROTHER underscores the importance of maintaining reliability at both the protocol and infrastructure level. Continuing to support assets with unstable oracles introduces systemic risk, not just to the asset itself, but to the overall user experience and trust in the platform.
Sunsetting BROTHER is a prudent move that will protect Nostra’s uptime and frontend integrity, streamline asset management and reduce unnecessary overhead, and help focus development and support on assets with robust infrastructure.
I appreciate the inclusion of a contract interaction guide for remaining users, which ensures a responsible offboarding path. This is a sound risk mitigation decision aligned with long-term protocol stability.
Fully support this proposal. Protecting uptime and reducing operational risk by sunsetting BROTHER is the right move. The guide for contract withdrawals ensures users aren’t stranded.
I am fully in favor of the proposal to sunset BROTHER from the Nostra Money Market.
I was the initial instigator of BROTHER’s listing, but the arguments presented convinced me of the need to reverse course and permanently remove it. The issues with the BROTHER oracle feed’s infrastructure and the disruptions it caused to the Nostra frontend are risks we simply cannot afford to continue taking for user experience and nostra reputation.
Adding unnecessary risk in DeFi, especially when big money markets are involved, is a definite no-go in my opinion.
This is the right move in order to protect users and the project; please pass the proposal.
Also, will say, contract based withdrawal can be confusing, so I appreciate the inclusion of a guide for doing so!
Indeed, I’m also in favour of this proposal. The BROTHER team needs to take ownership of this, ultimately, and I think Nostra has to ensure it’s only supporting protocols who can maintain things properly on their end.
