[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 4
01Summary
Gauntlet proposes updating interest rate curve parameters and COMP incentive rewards across WETH and Stablecoin Comets on multiple chains. Key changes include adjusting borrow/supply rate slopes, modifying COMP reward allocations across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, and Scroll, and deploying configuration updates to these networks.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Update borrow interest rate slope low from 0.0333 to 0.05 across stablecoin comets(high)
- Update borrow interest rate slope high from 4.0 to 3.4 across stablecoin comets(high)
- Update supply interest rate slope low from 0.039 to 0.054 across stablecoin comets(high)
- Update supply interest rate slope high from 3.6 to 3.034 across stablecoin comets(high)
- Reduce COMP borrow rewards for Ethereum WETH from 20 to 5(medium)
- Increase COMP supply rewards for Arbitrum WETH from 6 to 10(medium)
- Reduce COMP borrow rewards for Arbitrum WETH from 15 to 5(medium)
- Reduce COMP borrow rewards for Base WETH from 1 to 0(medium)
Notable concerns
- Significant reduction in COMP incentives for Polygon stablecoin comets (complete elimination)
- Multiple borrow reward reductions across chains may affect borrower participation
- Cross-chain deployments to Arbitrum, Optimism, and other networks require coordination

02Description
[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 4
Summary
Gauntlet recommends updating the interest rate curves as well as COMP rewards for WETH and Stablecoin Comets. This proposal is Part 4 of the overarching recommendations to be implemented. In this proposal we specifically target Arbitrum USDT and Base USDC comet's IR curves along with COMP reward recommendations for Mainnet USDS and Arbitrum WETH Comet.
