[Gauntlet] - WETH Comet Recommendations (2024-09-27)
01Summary
Gauntlet recommends updating WETH Comet interest rate curves across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base to incentivize growth and higher utilization. Changes include adjusting borrow kinks from 0.85 to 0.9, modifying interest rate slopes, and increasing borrow rate slope highs significantly.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Increase borrow kink from 0.85 to 0.9 across all WETH Comets (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base)(high)
- Increase annual borrow interest rate slope low from 0.014 to 0.0145 (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism) and from 0.0125 to 0.0145 (Base)(medium)
- Increase annual borrow interest rate slope high from 1.15 to 1.5 (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism) and from 0.9 to 1.5 (Base)(high)
- Increase supply kink from 0.85 to 0.9 across all WETH Comets(high)
- Decrease annual supply interest rate slope low from 0.0185 to 0.0165 (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism) and from 0.0115 to 0.0165 (Base)(medium)
- Increase annual supply interest rate slope high from 1.0 to 1.2 (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism) and from 0.8 to 1.2 (Base)(high)
- Increase Base borrow rate base from 0.006 to 0.01(medium)

| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High | 1.15 | 1.5 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Base | 0 | 0 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low | 0.0185 | 0.0165 |
| Supply Kink | 0.85 | 0.9 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High | 1 | 1.2 |
For Base:
| Parameter | Current Value | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Base | 0.006 | 0.01 |
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low | 0.0125 | 0.0145 |
| Borrow Kink | 0.85 | 0.9 |
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High | 0.9 | 1.5 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Base | 0 | 0 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low | 0.0115 | 0.0165 |
| Supply Kink | 0.85 | 0.9 |

This recommendation only includes the following Comets
- Ethereum WETH
- Arbitrum WETH
- Optimism WETH
- Base WETH
Motivation
Gauntlet recommends updating the interest rate curve parameters across all WETH comets to incentivize further growth and higher utilization. See the the full proposal and forum discussion for more details.
Specification
The proposal updates the parameters by using the respective methods on the Configurator.

- [Gauntlet] - WETH Comet IR and Incentive Recommendations (2024-09-27) ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- Increasing the kink from 85% to 90% and raising borrow APR to 2.3% better aligns interest rates with market conditions and addresses chronic over-utilization observed across WETH comets.— Gauntlet
- Reducing borrow-side COMP incentives enables organic market interest rate discovery and curbs excessive incentive spend relative to borrowing volume.— Gauntlet
- The proposed changes keep net borrow APR within historical interquartile ranges on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base, suggesting rates remain reasonable and market-compatible.— Gauntlet
- Higher interest rate slopes on the supply side (increasing from 1.0 to 1.2 for Ethereum/Arbitrum/Optimism comets) improve incentives for suppliers.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
None surfaced.
