[Gauntlet] Interest Rate and Rewards Recommendation for WETH Comet on BASE (06/03/2024)
01Summary
Gauntlet recommends adjusting interest rate parameters and COMP reward distributions for the WETH Comet on BASE. Key changes include lowering supply and borrow interest rate slopes, adjusting kink points from 0.9 to 0.85, increasing the borrow rate base from 0.005 to 0.006, and reducing daily COMP supply rewards from 10 to 6 tokens while maintaining borrow rewards at 2 tokens daily. These changes aim to increase utilization and prevent negative reserve growth.

- parameter change
Key changes
- Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low decreased from 0.015 to 0.0115(medium)
- Supply Kink decreased from 0.9 to 0.85(medium)
- Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High decreased from 0.9 to 0.8(medium)
- Annual Borrow Interest Rate Base increased from 0.005 to 0.006(medium)
- Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low decreased from 0.0155 to 0.0125(medium)
- Borrow Kink decreased from 0.9 to 0.85(medium)
- Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High decreased from 1 to 0.9(medium)
- Daily COMP Supply Rewards reduced from 10 to 6 tokens(medium)
Notable concerns
- Reduction in supply rewards (from 10 to 6 tokens daily) may impact incentive participation
- Multiple simultaneous interest rate adjustments create complex market effects that require careful monitoring

- [Gauntlet] Base and Ethereum V3 WETH Comets - Interest Rate Curve & Reward Recommendations (5/30/24) ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- Reducing COMP supply rewards from 10 to 6 tokens daily will lower distribution APR to ~1% and encourage the market toward equilibrium at the kink rather than being artificially sustained by excess rewards.— Gauntlet
- Adjusting the interest rate curves to lower the kink from 0.9 to 0.85 and reduce slope parameters will enable positive reserve generation at 45% utilization instead of 60%, improving protocol sustainability.— Gauntlet
- The optimized interest rate curves would have historically increased utilization by 20-30% based on retroactive performance analysis.— Gauntlet
- Adding wstETH to the BASE market (as separately proposed) should be prioritized alongside these parameter adjustments to increase borrowing demand for WETH on BASE.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
