[Gauntlet] 2023-11-20: Base v3 WETH Interest Rate Curve Recommendations
01Summary
Gauntlet proposes adjusting interest rate curve parameters and one risk parameter for the Base v3 WETH market. Changes include lowering the borrow rate base from 0.0099 to 0.005, adjusting slope parameters for both borrow and supply rates to incentivize higher utilization, and increasing baseBorrowMin from 1e-18 to 1e-6 to align with Ethereum settings.

02Description
[Gauntlet] 2023-11-20: Base v3 WETH Interest Rate Curve Recommendations
Simple Summary
A proposal from Gauntlet to adjust five Interest Rate (IR) Curve parameters and one risk parameter in the Base WETH comet.
Gauntlet recommends the following IR Curve updates:
- Decrease Annual Borrow Interest Rate Base from 0.0099 to 0.005
- Decrease Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.037 to 0.035
- Increase Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High from 0.5172 to 1.0
- Decrease Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.0284 to 0.025
- Increase Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High from 0.6067 to 1.0
Gauntlet recommends the following risk parameter update:
- Increase baseBorrowMin from 1e-18 to 1e-6
For more details, see the full forum post here.
Motivation
Gauntlet recommends updating the IR curve to incentivize higher utilization and increased TVL in the Base v3 WETH comet. Gauntlet recommends updating the baseBorrowMin to bring it in line with the values set on Ethereum.
Full proposal and forum discussion
Specification
The proposal updates the IR curve parameters and baseBorrowMin by using the respective methods on the Configurator.
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
The proposal is a standard Gauntlet Base WETH IR-curve/risk-parameter update delivered as a single cross-chain 'sendMessage' governance action containing a batch of Configurator calls. Decoding the embedded calldata shows exactly the six parameter changes named in the description: baseBorrowMin 1e12 wei = 1e-6 WETH (matches 1e-18→1e-6 claim), borrow rate base 5e15 = 0.005 (matches 0.0099→0.005), and the slope/high-rate values align with the 0.035, 1.0, 0.025, and 1.0 figures stated in the prose once converted from 18-decimal fixed-point to percentage form. The extra 'deployAndUpgradeTo' call is the standard mechanical step needed to push the new Comet configuration live and is fairly summarized by the Specification section's statement that updates are made 'using the respective methods on the Configurator' — this is routine bookkeeping, not a hidden action, and does not redirect funds, change recipients, or alter control. No target, value, or direction mismatches were found between the prose and the decoded calldata. Confidence is high because the values in the calldata could be directly converted and compared to the specific numeric claims made in the description.”,
