- [Gauntlet] - WBTC Risk Recommendations ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- Increased liquidation penalties to 10% would enhance liquidator incentives and provide a larger insolvency buffer to better protect the protocol if WBTC deteriorates following the custodianship transfer.— Gauntlet
- Lowering underutilized WBTC supply caps maintains a 25%+ buffer for each market while reducing exposure without curtailing protocol growth.— Gauntlet
- Risk-off parameters are warranted given heightened concerns around WBTC's custodial setup following BitGo's announcement of changes to BiT Global involvement.— Gauntlet
