[Gauntlet] Arbitrum USDC Comets - Interest Rate Curve
01Summary
Gauntlet proposes to adjust the Arbitrum USDC interest rate curve by reducing the Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.833 to 0.0833 (a tenfold decrease). All other parameters remain unchanged. This update will be executed via a cross-chain retryable ticket to Arbitrum.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low reduced from 0.833 to 0.0833 on Arbitrum USDC(high)
Notable concerns
- The borrow interest rate slope reduction by a factor of 10 represents a significant change to borrowing costs that warrants careful consideration of market implications

02Description
[Gauntlet] Arbitrum USDC Comets - Interest Rate Curve
Gauntlet is proposing to adjust Arbitrum USDC IR Curve:
| Parameter | Current Value | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Base | 0 | 0 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low | 0.075 | 0.075 |
| Supply Kink | 0.9 | 0.9 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High | 3.6 | 3.6 |
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Base | 0.015 | 0.015 |
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low | 0.833 | 0.0833 |
| Borrow Kink | 0.9 | 0.9 |
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High | 4.3 | 4.3 |
Specification
The proposal updates the borrow per year interest rate low slope using the respective methods on the Configurator.

03Mismatch analysis
The proposal claims a single parameter change: the Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low on Arbitrum USDC Comet, moving to a recommended value of 0.0833. Decoding the calldata shows a createRetryableTicket call bridging to Arbitrum that encodes exactly one Configurator setter — setBorrowPerYearInterestRateSlopeLow — with an encoded value of 83,300,000,000,000,000 wei, which equals 0.0833 in 18-decimal fixed-point notation. This matches the 'Recommended Value' in the table exactly (the 'Current Value' cell showing '0.833' appears to be a decimal-point typo in the prose table, but since it's describing the pre-existing state rather than an action being taken, it does not create a mismatch with the calldata). The second encoded call, deployAndUpgradeTo, is the routine mechanism used by Compound's Configurator pattern to push a governance-approved parameter change live; it is not a separate strategic action and is fairly covered by the phrase 'using the respective methods on the Configurator.' No other parameters are touched by the calldata, consistent with the description stating all other values are unchanged. No value, target, or omission discrepancies were found that a delegate should be warned about.overall assessment is consistent.
