- Type
- protocol addition
Key changes
- Add wstETH as collateral asset to cUSDCv3 market with configured risk parameters (collateral factor of 82%, liquidation incentive of 87%, liquidation factor of 92%, and supply cap of 15,000 wstETH)(high)
- Deploy and upgrade Comet contract to new version to support wstETH collateral(high)

02Description
Add wstETH as collateral into cUSDCv3 on Ethereum
Proposal summary
Compound Growth Program [AlphaGrowth] proposes to add wstETH into cUSDCv3 on Ethereum network. This proposal takes the governance steps recommended and necessary to update a Compound III USDC market on Ethereum. Simulations have confirmed the market’s readiness, as much as possible, using the Comet scenario suite. The new parameters include setting the risk parameters based off of the recommendations from Gauntlet.
Further detailed information can be found on the corresponding proposal pull request and forum discussion.
Proposal Actions
The first proposal action adds wstETH asset as collateral with corresponding configurations.
The second action deploys and upgrades Comet to a new version.
03Mismatch analysis
The description states two actions: (1) adding wstETH as collateral with specific risk parameters per Gauntlet's recommendations, and (2) deploying and upgrading Comet to a new implementation. The decoded calldata contains exactly two actions matching this: an addAsset call configuring wstETH with collateral factors (82%/87%/92%) and a supply cap of 15,000 tokens, followed by a deployAndUpgradeTo call targeting the same Configurator and Comet proxy addresses. The description does not specify exact numeric parameters, so there is nothing to contradict — it defers to the linked Gauntlet forum post for specifics, which is standard practice for this contract type. Target addresses in the calldata (Configurator and proxy admin) are consistent with the expected Compound III governance flow for asset listings. No unexplained transfers, role grants, or extra actions are present, and no claimed action is missing from the calldata. This is a straightforward, well-formed asset-listing proposal with full alignment between prose and on-chain actions.

- [Gauntlet] wstETH and ezETH Asset Listing ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- wstETH is a popular and dominant collateral asset on leading lending protocols that will increase borrowing opportunities for holders and improve capital efficiency.— Gauntlet, sharp
- The Compound Growth Program will provide developer resources and expedite deployment of these assets across multiple markets.— sharp
- Prior coding work by the Lido team for wstETH on multiple markets has been completed and was previously blocked only by exchange rate oracle implementation, which Gauntlet's refreshed parameters now help resolve.— sharp
- Gauntlet has provided rigorous risk analysis with detailed liquidity profiles and conservative parameters tailored to each market, supporting safe listing.— Gauntlet
- All technical testing including Forge tests, gas profiling, scenario simulations, and contract linting have passed successfully across all proposed deployments.— dmitriywoofsoftware
Arguments against
None surfaced.
Unresolved concerns
- Slither security analysis fails on all pull requests for asset listings, though other tests pass; the significance and implications of these failures are not discussed.— dmitriywoofsoftware
- Limited DEX liquidity on Optimism ($3.61M TVL with ~$1M available for swapping) may constrain capital efficiency for ezETH listings on that chain.— Gauntlet
