Arguments for
- Reallocating COMP rewards from supply to borrow side will incentivize borrowing and increase utilization rates, which are currently imbalanced due to LTIPP influx.— Gauntlet
- Lowering the kink from 0.9 to 0.85 and adjusting interest rate curves will mitigate negative reserve growth while LTIPP incentives remain active.— Gauntlet
- Reducing supply-side interest rates and reallocation will help rebalance the Arbitrum USDT market which is oversupplied.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
