01Summary

AISummary by Kvorumclaude-haiku-4-5

Gauntlet proposes pausing supply for 5 Compound v2 tail assets (cAAVE, cCOMP, cLINK, cSUSHI, cUNI) to reduce protocol exposure to tail risks and minimize reserves, as these assets have minimal borrowing activity and lower liquidity.

Type
parameter change

Key changes

  • Pause supply for cAAVE (0xe65cdB6479BaC1e22340E4E755fAE7E509EcD06c) by calling _setMintPaused(high)
  • Pause supply for cCOMP (0x70e36f6BF80a52b3B46b3aF8e106CC0ed743E8e4) by calling _setMintPaused(high)
  • Pause supply for cLINK (0xFAce851a4921ce59e912d19329929CE6da6EB0c7) by calling _setMintPaused(high)
  • Pause supply for cSUSHI (0x4B0181102A0112A2ef11AbEE5563bb4a3176c9d7) by calling _setMintPaused(high)
  • Pause supply for cUNI (0x35A18000230DA775CAc24873d00Ff85BccdeD550) by calling _setMintPaused(high)

Notable concerns

  • These assets provide minimal reserves to the protocol
  • Absence of supply caps in Compound v2 exposes protocol to tail risks during market downturns
  • Risk of cToken/oracle price deviations and price manipulation attacks given lower liquidity

[Gauntlet] 2023-07-24 Pause supply for Compound v2 Tail Assets

Simple Summary

A proposal from Gauntlet to adjust 5 parameters for 5 Compound v2 assets.

Gauntlet recommends pausing supply for the following collateral assets on Compound v2:

  • cAAVE
  • cCOMP
  • cLINK
  • cSUSHI
  • cUNI

For more details, see the full forum post here.

Motivation

These collateral assets have empirically provided minimal reserves to the protocol, both in terms of users borrowing these assets and borrowing against these assets. They also expose the protocol to outsized tail risks in scenarios of market downturns, cToken/oracle price deviations, and price manipulation attacks, given lower liquidity in these tokens and the absence of supply caps in v2. Additionally, COMP, LINK, and UNI are listed as collateral assets in Ethereum Compound v3 USDC, which includes supply caps.

Full proposal and forum discussion

Specification

This proposal pauses supply of tokens through _setMintPaused in Comptroller.

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.

sentiment · favorablethread · constructive

Arguments for

  • The targeted assets generate minimal reserves (less than 2% combined) relative to their risk exposure, making them poor risk-reward tradeoffs for the protocol.— Gauntlet, dvf
  • Pausing supply eliminates tail risks from market downturns, cToken/oracle price deviations, and price manipulation attacks that have historically affected Compound v2.— Gauntlet, cylon
  • These assets show stagnant or declining supply on Compound v2 while users have migrated to Compound v3, indicating minimal demand disruption from pausing.— Gauntlet, Michigan_Blockchain, PGov
  • COMP, LINK, and UNI are already offered as collateral in Compound v3 with supply caps, providing users alternative venues and reducing v2's necessity to keep them.— Gauntlet
  • Thin liquidity for these assets on centralized exchanges amplifies manipulation and market downturn risks on Compound v2.— Michigan_Blockchain

Arguments against

None surfaced.

Notable participants

  • GauntletProposer; conducted empirical analysis of reserve generation and risk exposure for the targeted assets.
  • Michigan_BlockchainEarly supporter citing market risk mitigation and noting thin liquidity of COMP on centralized exchanges.
  • PGovSupporter framing the proposal as a logical risk mitigation step with minimal disruption.
  • dvfSupporter emphasizing poor risk-reward ratio of maintaining the assets.
  • cylonOpenZeppelin representative noting official neutrality while acknowledging security benefits from reducing oracle and liquidity risks.
