[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 5 & Cap recommendations
01Summary
Gauntlet recommends increasing supply caps for assets across multiple Comets (Optimism wrsETH, Ethereum sFRAX, Base weETH, Base wstETH) and updating interest rate curve parameters for stablecoin and WETH Comets to improve capital efficiency and align with market demand. This is Part 5 of ongoing recommendations targeting Mainnet USDS and Base USDC comets.

Key changes
- Increase Optimism V3 WETH Comet wrsETH Supply Cap from 440 to 520(medium)
- Increase Ethereum V3 USDT Comet sFRAX Supply Cap from 20,000,000 to 24,000,000(medium)

- Increase Base V3 USDC Comet wstETH Supply Cap from 700 to 2,100(medium)
- Update interest rate curves for stablecoin Comets: increase Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.0333 to 0.05, decrease Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High from 4 to 3.4, increase Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.039 to 0.054, decrease Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High from 3.6 to 3.034(high)
- Updates apply to 11 stablecoin Comets across multiple chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, and Scroll(high)

[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 5 & Cap recommendations
Summary
Gauntlet recommends the following risk recommendations to the protocol:
- Increase Optimism V3 WETH Comet’s wrsETH Supply Cap from 440 to 520.
- Increase Ethereum V3 USDT Comet’s sFRAX Supply Cap from 20,000,000 to 24,000,000.
- Increase Base V3 WETH Comet’s weETH Supply Cap from 4,200 to 15,000.
- Increase Base V3 USDC Comet’s wstETH Supply Cap from 700 to 2,100.
Along with the above Gauntlet recommends updating the interest rate curves as well as COMP rewards for WETH and Stablecoin Comets. This proposal is Part 5 of the overarching recommendations to be implemented. In this proposal we specifically target Mainnet USDS and Base USDC comet's IR curves.

Motivation
This recommendation aims to increase supply caps for various assets across multiple Comets. Gauntlet recommends to increase supply caps to increase capital efficiency within the Comets.

- [Gauntlet] Supply Cap Recommendation Proposals ↗discourse · high confidence
- [Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- Supply cap increases are justified by high utilization rates (75%+) on various assets across chains, indicating market demand and the need to prevent caps from constraining legitimate user activity.— Gauntlet
- Liquidation analysis shows acceptable slippage levels relative to liquidation penalties when caps are increased, indicating that larger caps can be safely accommodated without excessive risk.— Gauntlet
- Top suppliers maintain strong health factors (often >1.4 to >4), demonstrating that large position holders are well-collateralized and pose low liquidation risk even at higher caps.— Gauntlet
- Exchange rate oracles enable safer cap increases for assets like ezETH, wstETH, and weETH because liquidation pathways are constrained, reducing systemic risk from large caps.— Gauntlet
- Asset supplies are growing and circulating supply on various chains supports higher cap levels relative to current utilization, allowing protocol to accommodate organic growth.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
None surfaced.
Unresolved concerns
- sFRAX supply cap was increased since 12/9 but utilization data only shows through 12/8, leaving unclear whether the additional increase to 20M was justified by actual demand.— Tane
- Top supplier data shown in images does not match the supplied amounts, raising questions about whether other large suppliers exist that should be displayed for transparency.— Tane
- Top supplier addresses should be provided in text format rather than images for accessibility and to enable community verification of supplier identities and positions.— Tane
