02Description
[Gauntlet] Optimism USDC Risk Recommendations - 06-17-24
Simple Summary
Gauntlet recommends the following risk parameter updates for the Optimism v3 USDC comet:
- Increase WBTC Liquidation Penalty from 5% to 10%
- Increase WBTC Supply Cap from 60 to 120
- Increase OP Supply Cap from 700,000 to 1,400,000
Motivation
Gauntlet recommends adjusting the risk parameters to increase capital efficiency within the Comet. Full proposal and forum discussion
Specification
The proposal updates the Supply Cap and Liquidation Factor by using the respective methods on the Configurator.

03Mismatch analysis
I decoded the single sendMessage action, which bridges a governance payload to Optimism's Comet Configurator. Within the payload, the four embedded calls correspond exactly to the three parameter changes named in the description: WBTC liquidation factor moves from 0.95e18 to 0.90e18 (a 5%->10% liquidation penalty increase, matching Compound v3's convention that liquidationFactor = 1 - liquidationPenalty), WBTC supply cap moves to 12,000,000,000 units = 120 WBTC (8 decimals), and OP supply cap moves to ~1,400,000e18 = 1,400,000 OP (18 decimals), matching the stated 60->120 and 700,000->1,400,000 changes respectively. The fourth call, deployAndUpgradeTo, is the standard mechanical step used by Compound v3 governance to activate configurator changes by deploying/upgrading the Comet implementation; this is routine boilerplate for this contract type and its omission from the prose is expected, not a discrepancy. All addresses (WBTC, OP token, Configurator) are consistent with Optimism mainnet addresses for the assets named. No value, target, or direction mismatches were found, so the proposal is assessed as consistent with high confidence.

- [Gauntlet] - Optimism USDC Risk Recommendations (05/20/2024) ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- Increasing WBTC supply cap from 60 to 120 addresses current capacity constraints with usage over 80%, leaving only $700k remaining capacity, enhancing borrowing power.— Gauntlet
- Increasing WBTC liquidation penalty from 5% to 10% ensures healthy liquidations given sufficient OP chain liquidity (37 WBTC swappable with 9.9% slippage) when the supply cap is doubled.— Gauntlet
- Increasing OP supply cap from 700,000 to 1,400,000 addresses trending higher usage at 60% and makes the market more attractive for larger OP borrowers with only $705k remaining capacity.— Gauntlet
- Top WBTC and OP positions can be safely liquidated even if doubled in size, demonstrating sufficient liquidity to support the recommended cap increases.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
None surfaced.
