Risk Parameter Updates for USDC Comet Market
01Summary
Proposal to adjust risk parameters for two assets on Compound V3's USDC market: increase UNI supply cap from 1.25M to 2.3M UNI, and decrease COMP liquidation factor from 93% to 88%. These updates are recommended by Gauntlet based on their dynamic risk parameter optimization methodology.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Increase UNI supply cap on USDC Comet market from 1,250,000 UNI to 2,300,000 UNI(medium)
- Decrease COMP liquidation factor on USDC Comet market from 93% to 88%(medium)
Notable concerns
- Parameter changes involve trade-offs between insolvencies, liquidations, and borrow usage optimization

02Description
Risk Parameter Updates for USDC Comet Market
Simple Summary
A proposal to adjust two (2) parameters for two (2) Compound V3 assets on the USDC market.
- Increase the supply cap of UNI on the Comet USDC market from 1,250,000 UNI to 2,300,000 UNI.
- Decrease COMP liquidation factor on the Comet USDC market from 93% to 88%.
Background
Gauntlet's simulation engine has ingested the latest market and liquidity data. These recommendations are Gauntlet's regular parameter recommendations as part of Dynamic Risk Parameters.
Full proposal and forum discussion can be found in the post to increase UNI supply cap and decrease COMP liquidation factor.
Motivation
This set of parameter updates seeks to maintain the overall risk tolerance of the protocol while making risk trade-offs between specific assets.
Our parameter recommendations are driven by an optimization function that balances 3 core metrics: insolvencies, liquidations, and borrow usage. Our parameter recommendations seek to optimize for this objective function. For more details, please see Gauntlet's Parameter Recommendation Methodology and Gauntlet's Model Methodology.
Specification
The proposal uses the Configurator contract to update the asset parameters listed above for cUSDCv3 using the updateAsset methods and then upgrades cUSDCv3 to use the newly configured Comet.
By approving this proposal, you agree that any services provided by Gauntlet shall be governed by the terms of service available at gauntlet.network/tos.
03Mismatch analysis
Compared each decoded action against the proposal's claims. Action 0 sets COMP liquidation factor to 880000000000000000 (0.88 = 88%), matching the described decrease from 93% to 88%. Action 1 sets UNI supply cap to 2,300,000e18 (2,300,000 UNI), matching the described increase to 2,300,000 UNI (the starting value of 1,250,000 is not verifiable on-chain from a single setter call, but is consistent context and not contradicted). Both actions target the correct Configurator contract and the correct cUSDCv3 proxy address, and use the correct token addresses for COMP and UNI. Action 2 performs deployAndUpgradeTo on the same cUSDCv3 proxy, exactly matching the description's statement that the proposal 'upgrades cUSDCv3 to use the newly configured Comet.' No value mismatches, target mismatches, omissions, or extra claims were found. The description's specification section fully and accurately summarizes the three on-chain actions with no misleading phrasing or magnitude issues.

Arguments for
- Gauntlet's market data (UNI's +2% market depth at $11.3M and market supply demand of $7.1M) supports raising the UNI supply cap to allow organic market growth without adding outsized risk.— pauljlei
Arguments against
None surfaced.
Unresolved concerns
- Whether there is a proposal script associated with the change was raised; Gauntlet responded that they currently use internal tools plus mainnet fork testing and are working toward more open-source solutions, leaving full transparency/tooling unresolved.— jared, pauljlei
