02Description
[Gauntlet] 2023-12-24: Compound v2 Deprecation (Phase 6)
Simple Summary
A proposal from Gauntlet to adjust two Compound v2 reward distributions for Phase 6 of the Compound v2 Deprecation.
Gauntlet recommends the following v2 reward updates:
- Decrease Daily COMP DAI Supply Rewards from 111.20 to 25
- Decrease Daily COMP DAI Borrow Rewards from 111.20 to 25
For more details, see the full forum post here.
Motivation
Given the current COMP price of $58, these changes would save the protocol $3.65M/year in COMP tokens, while aiming to eliminate the remaining DAI recursive borrowers from v2.

Specification
The proposal updates the parameters using the _setCompSpeeds method of the Comptroller 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
The proposal claims two changes: reducing the daily COMP supply and borrow reward rates for the cDAI market from 111.20 to 25 each. The single decoded action calls _setCompSpeeds on the Comptroller, targeting one market address (presumably cDAI) with both the supply-speed and borrow-speed arrays set to 3472222222222222 wei per block. Converting this per-block rate to a daily rate using the standard 7200 blocks/day assumption (25/7200 = 0.0034722222...) yields exactly 25 COMP/day for both supply and borrow, matching the description precisely. The function used (_setCompSpeeds) matches the specification section exactly, and no additional or unmentioned actions are present in the calldata. There are no unit mismatches, target mismatches, or omitted/extra actions. Confidence is high because the numeric conversion aligns exactly and the market/function referenced match the prose.

Arguments for
- Reducing DAI rewards from 111.20 to 25 daily COMP will save the protocol $3.15M annually while eliminating incentives for recursive borrowing that contradicts v3 comet intentions.— Gauntlet
- The current reward structure produces a Net Earn APR of 4.72% that is higher than the Net Borrow APR of 3.36%, actively encouraging recursive borrowing behavior that should be discouraged.— Gauntlet
- DAI rewards represent 20.1% of total COMP distribution despite DAI being the only remaining v2 asset with rewards, an outsized allocation that should be rebalanced.— Gauntlet
- After the reduction, the Net Supply APR becomes lower than the Net Borrow APR, eliminating the mathematical incentive for recursive borrowing strategies.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
- Reducing rewards risks causing the second-largest DAI borrower (address ending in fbe5ddc3), a non-recursive user supplying $52.06M in WETH and WBTC, to exit the protocol before v3 comets launch.— Gauntlet
