02Description
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.
Full proposal and forum discussion
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 single decoded action calls _setCompSpeeds on the Comptroller with the cDAI market address and sets both supply and borrow speeds to 3472222222222222 wei per block. Converting: 25 COMP/day ÷ ~7200 blocks/day = 0.0034722... COMP/block = 3.4722e15 wei, which matches the calldata value exactly for both supply and borrow speeds. This aligns with the description's claim of reducing both DAI supply and borrow rewards to 25 COMP/day. The target market address corresponds to the DAI cToken, consistent with the 'DAI' rewards mentioned in the description. No numeric, target, or action discrepancies were found; the single on-chain action fully and accurately implements what the prose describes.

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
