[Gauntlet] 2023-12-04: Compound v2 Deprecation (Phase 5)
01Summary
Gauntlet proposes to reduce collateral factors for 7 Compound v2 cTokens (cAAVE, cCOMP, cLINK, cMKR, cSUSHI, cYFI, cZRX) by 5 percentage points each and decrease cWBTC2 borrow cap to 250 as Phase 5 of the v2 deprecation process, following community-approved parameters from September 2022.

02Description
[Gauntlet] 2023-12-04: Compound v2 Deprecation (Phase 5)
Simple Summary
A proposal from Gauntlet to adjust 8 Compound v2 risk parameters for Phase 4 of the Compound v2 Deprecation.
Gauntlet recommends the following changes:
- Decrease cAAVE Collateral Factor from 58% to 53%
- Decrease cCOMP Collateral Factor from 45% to 40%
- Decrease cLINK Collateral Factor from 64% to 59%
- Decrease cMKR Collateral Factor from 58% to 53%
- Decrease cSUSHI Collateral Factor from 52% to 47%
- Decrease cYFI Collateral Factor from 60% to 55%
- Decrease cZRX Collateral Factor from 50% to 45%
- Decrease cWBTC2 Borrow Cap to 250
For more details, see the full forum post here.
Motivation
In this September 2022 snapshot vote, the community voted that each asset’s Collateral Factor may be reduced by an absolute percentage of up to 5%. After our analysis, Gauntlet recommends this max 5% decrease for each lowly supplied collateral asset in order to further deprecate the v2 market.
Additionally, this proposal decreases the cWBTC2 Borrow Cap to 250.

03Mismatch analysis
I mapped each of the 8 description bullet points to its corresponding decoded action by matching cToken addresses to their known underlying assets (cAAVE, cCOMP, cLINK, cMKR, cSUSHI, cYFI, cZRX, and cWBTC2 borrow cap). All seven collateral factor changes convert cleanly from percentage to 18-decimal fixed point (e.g., 53% = 530000000000000000) and match the stated 'to X%' target values exactly, consistent with the described flat 5-point reduction. The borrow cap action sets 25,000,000,000 raw units for cWBTC2, which equals 250 WBTC once adjusted for WBTC's 8 decimals, matching the stated cap of 250. No addresses, targets, or magnitudes diverge from the description, and no additional or missing actions were found in the calldata beyond what's described. The only oddity is an internal inconsistency in the description itself (title says 'Phase 5' while the Simple Summary text says 'Phase 4'), but this does not create any mismatch between the described actions and the actual calldata, so it is not flagged as a discrepancy under the defined categories.
