[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 6 & Cap recommendations
01Summary
Gauntlet proposes increasing supply caps for cbBTC, sFRAX, and wstETH across Mainnet Comets, updating interest rate curves for WETH Comets across multiple chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Scroll), and deploying configurator upgrades to implement these changes.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Increase USDC Mainnet cbBTC supply cap from 650 to 900(medium)
- Increase USDT Mainnet cbBTC supply cap from 93 to 500(medium)
- Increase USDT Mainnet sFRAX supply cap from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000(medium)
- Increase USDT Mainnet wstETH supply cap from 45,000 to 60,000(medium)
- Update WETH Comet interest rate curve parameters across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and Scroll including adjustments to borrow rate slope low (0.0145 to 0.0155), borrow rate slope high (1.5 to 1.26), supply rate slope low (0.0165 to 0.0216), and supply rate slope high (1.2 to 1.125)(high)
- Deploy and upgrade Configurator contracts on Ethereum and cross-chain via bridge messages to Base and Optimism(high)
Notable concerns
- Supply cap increases aim to increase capital efficiency but may increase protocol risk exposure to these assets
- Interest rate curve changes across multiple chains require coordinated execution and monitoring

02Description
[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 6 & Cap recommendations
Summary
Gauntlet recommends the following risk recommendations to the protocol:
- Increase USDC Mainnet cbBTC supply cap from 650 to 900
- Increase USDT Mainnet cbBTC supply cap from 93 to 500
- Increase USDT Mainnet sFRAX supply cap from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000
- Increase USDT Mainnet wstETH supply cap from 45,000 to 60,000
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 6 of the overarching recommendations to be implemented. In this proposal we specifically target Base WETH and Optimism WETH comet's IR curves.
WETH Comets
The recommended curves are for the following comets:
| Comet |
|---|
| Ethereum WETH |
| Arbitrum WETH |
| Base WETH |
| Optimism WETH |
| Scroll WETH |
| Parameter | Current Value | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Base | 0.01 | 0.01 |
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low | 0.0145 | 0.0155 |
| Borrow Kink | 0.9 | 0.9 |
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High | 1.5 | 1.26 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Base | 0 | 0 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low | 0.0165 | 0.0216 |
| Supply Kink | 0.9 | 0.9 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High | 1.2 | 1.125 |
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.
Full proposal and forum discussions can be found in the following posts.
- Jan 4
- Gauntlet recommends updating the interest rate curve parameters across all WETH and Stablecoin comets to align with market demand. 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] 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
Notable participants
- GauntletPrimary proposer issuing repeated supply cap recommendations backed by utilization data, slippage analysis, and top supplier health metrics.
- TaneCommunity member raising questions about data currency, completeness of supplier disclosure, and format of supplier information.
- dmitriywoofsoftwareCommunity participant who supported and accelerated one proposal to push it on-chain.
