02Description
Add wstETH as collateral into cWETHv3 on Base
Proposal summary
Compound Growth Program [AlphaGrowth] proposes to add wstETH into cWETHv3 on Base network. This proposal takes the governance steps recommended and necessary to update a Compound III WETH market on Base. 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 to the WETH Comet on Base. This sends the encoded addAsset and deployAndUpgradeTo calls across the bridge to the governance receiver on Base.
03Mismatch analysis
The description states that the proposal adds wstETH as collateral to the cWETHv3 market on Base by bridging encoded addAsset and deployAndUpgradeTo calls to the Base governance receiver, and that risk parameters follow Gauntlet's published recommendations. The single decoded on-chain action is a sendMessage call to a cross-domain messenger targeting the Base governance receiver address, carrying an ABI-encoded payload whose function selectors decode to exactly 'addAsset(address,(address,address,address,uint8,uint64,uint64,uint64,uint128))' and 'deployAndUpgradeTo(address,address)' — this is a precise match to the textual claim in the Proposal Actions section. The embedded numeric parameters (asset address, price feed, borrow/liquidate collateral factors, liquidation factor, supply cap) cannot be independently verified against the Gauntlet forum post from the calldata alone, so I cannot confirm the exact risk-parameter values match the cited recommendation, but the description does not assert specific numeric values itself (it only references an external recommendation), so there is nothing concrete to flag as a mismatch. No targets, recipients, or actions in the calldata deviate from what the description claims, and no additional undisclosed actions (e.g., unrelated transfers or role grants) are present. Given the high-level nature of the prose and the single bridged action, everything present in the calldata is accounted for in the description, and everything claimed in the description is reflected in the calldata. Confidence is medium rather than high because the underlying addAsset parameter values are opaque without additional decoding/context to fully cross-check against the Gauntlet-recommended figures.

- [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
Notable participants
- GauntletRisk analysis provider who issued detailed parameter recommendations for wstETH and ezETH across multiple chains and markets.
