[Gauntlet] BASE and Ethereum v3 WETH Comet IO Recommendations (2024-04-29)
01Summary
Gauntlet recommends adjusting COMP incentive rewards for WETH Comets on Ethereum and Base to improve utilization. On Ethereum: keep supply rewards at 70 daily COMP tokens, increase borrow rewards from 0 to 20 daily tokens. On Base: reduce supply rewards from 15 to 10 daily COMP tokens, increase borrow rewards from 0 to 2 daily tokens. The proposal executes these changes via on-chain transactions updating tracking speeds on both chains.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Ethereum v3 WETH Comet: Increase daily COMP borrow rewards from 0 to 20 tokens while maintaining supply rewards at 70 tokens(medium)
- Base v3 WETH Comet: Reduce daily COMP supply rewards from 15 to 10 tokens and increase borrow rewards from 0 to 2 tokens(medium)
- Cross-chain message deployment to Base chain to synchronize incentive changes(medium)
Notable concerns
- Proposal relies on Gauntlet's recommendations without detailed justification for specific reward level changes
- Cross-chain execution via message bridge adds complexity to the implementation

- [Gauntlet] IO Recommendations for WETH Comets on BASE and ETH Mainnet ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- Low utilization rates in V3 WETH Comets (trending below 70% on Ethereum, 30-40% on BASE) justify incentive adjustments to boost borrowing activity and stabilize reserve growth.— Gauntlet
- Adding borrow rewards to Ethereum WETH Comet (0 to 20 COMP daily) will stabilize the Net Borrow APR at the kink and incentivize borrowing without excessive supply-side rewards.— Gauntlet
- Reducing BASE supply rewards (15 to 10 COMP) while increasing borrow rewards (0 to 2 COMP) rebalances incentives to encourage borrowing and improve market utilization.— Gauntlet
- BASE market utilization can be further improved once wstETH is added as collateral, which will increase borrowing demand by expanding available collateral options.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
None surfaced.
