[Gauntlet] 2023-08-07: Arbitrum USDC - Reward Updates

Simple Summary

A proposal from Gauntlet to adjust one COMP reward distribution in the Arbitrum USDC comet.

Gauntlet recommends the following change to Arbitrum USDC rewards:

  • Decrease daily COMP supply rewards from 34.73 to 10.

For more details, see the full forum post here.

Motivation

Decreasing the daily COMP supply rewards from 34.73 to 10 will result in ~$542k annual savings, in a comet that has low utilization. Compound Labs is working on launching a native USDC comet on Arbitrum, to migrate liquidity from this comet to be deprecated to the new comet.

Full proposal and forum discussion

Specification

The proposal updates the COMP supply rewards on the Arbitrum USDC Comet using the setBaseTrackingSupplySpeed method of the Arbitrum Configurator contract.

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

AIMismatch analysis by Kvorumclaude-sonnet-5
Consistent

The proposal claims a single change: lower the daily COMP supply reward speed on the Arbitrum USDC Comet from 34.73 to 10 COMP/day via setBaseTrackingSupplySpeed on the Arbitrum Configurator. The single decoded action is a createRetryableTicket call (standard Compound cross-chain governance pattern) whose embedded L2 payload calls setBaseTrackingSupplySpeed on the Configurator (0xb21b06d7...) targeting the Comet at 0xa5edbdd9..., with the argument 115740740740. Converting this using Compound's trackingIndexScale (1e15) gives 115740740740 * 86400 / 1e15 = 10 COMP/day, exactly matching the description's target value. The payload also includes the routine deployAndUpgradeTo(configurator, comet) call that Compound III always bundles to push a configurator change live — this is boilerplate, not a separate substantive action, so its omission from the prose is not a real discrepancy. Addresses used (Configurator, Comet, Arbitrum Inbox/bridge helper) are consistent with known Compound Arbitrum deployment addresses and the specification's stated method. No value, target, or direction mismatches were found.

Discrepancies

  • lowomitted in description

    The description does not mention the accompanying deployAndUpgradeTo call or the retryable-ticket bridging mechanics, but these are standard, mechanical steps required to apply any Comet configurator change and do not alter the substance of the proposal.

Arguments for

  • Low USDC utilization (20.2%-36.3%) and negative reserve growth (-31.8% average) justify reducing inefficient incentives.— Gauntlet
  • Decreasing rewards from 34.73 to 10 COMP daily saves approximately $542k annually while the deprecated comet will be replaced by a native USDC comet on Arbitrum.— Gauntlet
  • Current earn distribution is overly incentivized at 5.27%, losing $760k in annual COMP rewards relative to protocol benefit.— Gauntlet

Arguments against

None surfaced.

Unresolved concerns

  • Whether increasing LTV for WETH and WBTC on the current comet would improve competitiveness against AAVE before deprecation.— Michigan_Blockchain

Notable participants

  • GauntletProposal author providing market analysis, recommendations, and responses to community questions.
  • Michigan_BlockchainCommunity participant raising questions about LTV optimization relative to AAVE's offering.
