[Gauntlet] - IO and Risk Recommendations for BASE, Mainnet, and Arbitrum (2024-08-12)
01Summary
Gauntlet recommends reducing COMP incentives on mainnet (WETH supply rewards from 70 to 35, USDC supply rewards from 151 to 70), increasing supply caps for staked ETH assets on Arbitrum and Base, and adjusting collateral/liquidation factors for several LRT assets across multiple chains to improve capital efficiency.

- parameter change
Key changes
- Reduce WETH supply rewards on Mainnet from 70 to 35(high)
- Reduce USDC supply rewards on Mainnet from 151 to 70(high)
- Increase USDT Arbitrum wstETH supply cap from 5,000 to 10,000(medium)
- Increase USDC Arbitrum wstETH supply cap from 1,500 to 5,000(medium)
- Increase WETH BASE ezETH supply cap from 500 to 1,500(medium)
- Increase WETH BASE ezETH collateral factor from 80% to 88% and liquidation factor from 85% to 91%, decrease liquidation penalty from 10% to 6%(medium)
- Increase WETH ARB rsETH collateral factor from 80% to 88% and liquidation factor from 85% to 91%, decrease liquidation penalty from 10% to 4%(medium)

- [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.
Notable participants
- GauntletProposer presenting risk parameter recommendations for LRTs with quantitative methodology and exchange rate oracle implementation.
