# dgnETH Backing Buffer change from 0.1% to 0.15%
[https://forum.reserve.org/t/rfc-dgneth-backing-buffer-change-from-0-1-to-0-15/1116](https://forum.reserve.org/t/rfc-dgneth-backing-buffer-change-from-0-1-to-0-15/1116)
This proposal recommends increasing the Backing Buffer from 0.1% to 0.15% to better protect RToken stakers from slashing events during basket changes. The Backing Buffer is essential in safeguarding RToken holders by maintaining extra collateral to handle slippage during a rebalance. An optimal buffer level prevents RSR slashing and stabilizes yields for RToken stakeholders. This proposal addresses a recent significant slashing event linked to insufficient backing and collateral mispricing. Raising the buffer to 0.15% aims to mitigate future risks while monitoring it’s impacts.
