02Description
Add wUSDM as collateral into cUSDTv3 on Ethereum
Proposal summary
Compound Growth Program [AlphaGrowth] proposes to add wUSDM into cUSDTv3 on Ethereum network. This proposal takes the governance steps recommended and necessary to update a Compound III USDT market on Ethereum. Simulations have confirmed the market’s readiness, as much as possible, using the Comet scenario suite. The new parameters include setting the risk parameters based off of the recommendations from Gauntlet.
Further detailed information can be found on the corresponding proposal pull request and forum discussion.
Proposal Actions
The first proposal action adds wUSDM asset as collateral with corresponding configurations.
The second action deploys and upgrades Comet to a new version.
03Mismatch analysis
The description states two actions: (1) adding wUSDM as collateral with risk parameters, and (2) deploying and upgrading Comet to a new version. The decoded calldata contains exactly two actions matching this: an addAsset call configuring wUSDM as collateral on the Comet configurator, followed by a deployAndUpgradeTo call that deploys a new implementation and upgrades the USDT market proxy. The target addresses are consistent with Compound's Comet configurator and proxy admin pattern, and the action count and sequence align with the prose. The description does not specify exact numeric risk parameters (CF, liquidation factor, supply cap), so there is nothing to compare numerically against the calldata's specific values (88%/90%/95% CFs, 6.5M cap) — this is a case of legitimate summarization referencing an external Gauntlet recommendation rather than a discrepancy. No targets, recipients, or amounts in the calldata contradict the stated intent, and no additional unexplained actions are present. Overall, the proposal description and on-chain actions are consistent with high confidence.

- List wUSDM as a collateral on USDC/USDT markets on Arbitrum and Ethereum ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- wUSDM collateral creates arbitrage opportunities that establish a yield floor for USDC/USDT lenders when borrow rates are low, improving market efficiency.— mcarrica
- Gauntlet's risk analysis supports listing with conservative parameters (88% collateral factor, 90% liquidation factor, 5% liquidation penalty) and supply caps aligned with available liquidity.— Gauntlet
- wUSDM has been successfully integrated into Optimism USDC market and passed comprehensive testing (forge, gas profiling, scenario simulations) on Ethereum and Arbitrum implementations.— Olha, dmitriywoofsoftware
- Mountain Protocol is a regulated entity (Class F licensed by Bermuda Monetary Authority) with audited contracts, bug bounties, 24/7 monitoring, and emergency response capabilities.— mcarrica
- wUSDM exhibits minimal price volatility (1.43% 30-day volatility) consistent with a stablecoin, with deterministic price appreciation based on 5% USDM APY rewards.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
- The supply cap at listing may exceed the actual circulating wUSDM on target chains, creating risk that gas costs could exceed protocol incentives to prevent bad debt in a crisis scenario.— allthecolors
- wUSDM carries wider diversity of risks than typical collateral due to wrapping/unwrapping mechanisms, redemption challenges, and potential depeg scenarios not fully mitigated by available liquidity.— Gauntlet, allthecolors
Unresolved concerns
- Whether wUSDM circulating supply will grow on Arbitrum and Ethereum to match the proposed supply caps, particularly given slow uptake on Optimism despite the recent market launch there.— allthecolors
- Slither static analysis fails on both Ethereum and Arbitrum PR implementations; the nature and severity of these failures and whether they pose material risk are not discussed in the thread.— Olha, dmitriywoofsoftware
- Chainlink price feed status remains TBC (to be confirmed) for key parameters including update frequency and reversion behavior, creating uncertainty about oracle reliability.— mcarrica
Notable participants
- mcarricaCEO and Co-founder of Mountain Protocol; authored the proposal and provided market impact analysis.
- GauntletRisk analyst; conducted market risk assessment, liquidity analysis, and provided collateral factor recommendations for all three markets.
- OlhaTechnical contributor; prepared and tested Ethereum mainnet implementation with full PR and CI/CD documentation.
- dmitriywoofsoftwareTechnical contributor; prepared and tested Arbitrum implementation with full PR and CI/CD documentation.
- allthecolorsCommunity skeptic; raised concerns about supply cap sizing relative to actual circulating supply and advocated for a wait-and-see approach pending Optimism market performance.
