[Gauntlet] Risk Recommendations for LRTs on WETH Comets
01Summary
Gauntlet proposes updating risk parameters for three Liquid Restaking Tokens (weETH, rsETH, ezETH) on Ethereum to improve capital efficiency following Exchange Rate Oracle implementation. The proposal adjusts collateral factors, liquidation factors, and liquidation penalties for these LRT assets.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- weETH: Collateral Factor updated to 90%, Liquidate Collateral Factor to 93%, Liquidation Factor to 94%(high)
- rsETH: Collateral Factor updated to 88%, Liquidate Collateral Factor to 91%, Liquidation Factor to 96%(high)
- ezETH: Collateral Factor updated to 90%, Liquidate Collateral Factor to 93%, Liquidation Factor to 96%(high)
- Configurator upgrade deployment to implement parameter changes(medium)
Notable concerns
- Parameter changes affect collateral and liquidation thresholds which influence borrowing capacity and liquidation risk
- Proposal requires acceptance of Gauntlet's terms of service as specified at gauntlet.network/tos

02Description
[Gauntlet] Risk Recommendations for LRTs on WETH Comets
Summary
Gauntlet recommends the following risk parameters for LRTs on Ethereum:
| Asset | Recommended CF | Recommended LF | Recommended LP |
|---|---|---|---|
| weETH | 90% | 93% | 4% |
| rsETH | 88% | 91% | 4% |
| ezETH | 88% | 91% | 6% |
Motivation
Following the implementation of Exchange Rate Oracles, Gauntlet recommends adjusting the risk recommendations for the following LRTs to improve captial efficiency.
Full proposal and forum discussions can be found here.
Specification
The proposal updates the parameters by using the respective methods on the Configurator.
By approving this proposal, you agree that any services provided by Gauntlet shall be governed by the terms of service available at gauntlet.network/tos
03Mismatch analysis
I mapped each LRT asset address to its known mainnet token address (weETH = 0xCd5fE2...7ee, rsETH = 0xA1290d...5A7, ezETH = 0xbf5495...110) and compared the three parameters set per asset (borrow collateral factor, liquidate collateral factor, and liquidation factor) against the description's table of CF/LF/LP. For each asset, the liquidation factor in calldata equals 100% minus the described Liquidation Penalty (LP), which is the standard relationship between these two values, and all values matched exactly after unit conversion from 18-decimal fixed point to percentages: weETH (90/93/4), rsETH (88/91/4), ezETH (88/91/6) — all consistent with the proposal table. The final action (deployAndUpgradeTo) is the standard Compound III mechanism to push new Comet implementation/configuration live, which is routine boilerplate for any Configurator-based governance action and is reasonably omitted from the prose per the 'legitimate summarization' guidance. No value, target, or omission discrepancies were found that a delegate should be warned about.

- [Gauntlet]- LRT recommendations for Mainnet, BASE, Arbitrum WETH Comets ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- Exchange rate oracles eliminate volatility-based pricing, allowing lower liquidation penalties and higher collateral factors while maintaining safety through data-driven metrics.— Gauntlet
- Liquidation penalties based on maximum negative deviation between market and exchange rates (2x AMD) provide adequate buffer while incentivizing liquidators sufficiently.— Gauntlet
- Using median withdrawal ratio as a liquidity stress indicator allows differentiated liquidation factors that reflect actual protocol redemption pressure.— Gauntlet
- The proposed changes increase capital efficiency for LRT collateral without compromising protocol safety through rigorous quantitative analysis.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
None surfaced.
