[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 3
01Summary
Gauntlet recommends updating interest rate curve parameters across WETH and Stablecoin Comets on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Scroll, and Polygon to align with market demand. The proposal modifies borrow and supply interest rate slopes for these assets. On-chain actions update parameters for Ethereum USDT and deploy related upgrades, with cross-chain messaging to Arbitrum.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- WETH Comet: Increase Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.0145 to 0.0155(medium)
- WETH Comet: Decrease Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High from 1.5 to 1.26(medium)
- WETH Comet: Increase Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.0165 to 0.0216(medium)
- WETH Comet: Decrease Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High from 1.2 to 1.125(medium)
- Stablecoin Comet: Increase Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.0333 to 0.05(medium)
- Stablecoin Comet: Decrease Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High from 4 to 3.4(medium)
- Stablecoin Comet: Increase Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.039 to 0.054(medium)
- Stablecoin Comet: Decrease Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High from 3.6 to 3.034(medium)
Notable concerns
- Implementation spans multiple chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Scroll, Polygon) which increases complexity
- Proposal is Part 3 of overarching recommendations, suggesting phased implementation approach
