[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 7
01Summary
Gauntlet proposes updating interest rate curve parameters and COMP reward distributions across multiple Comet markets on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, and Scroll. Key changes include adjusting borrow/supply interest rate slopes for stablecoin markets and modifying COMP incentives for WETH and stablecoin comets to align with market demand and improve capital efficiency.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Update borrow interest rate slope low from 0.0333 to 0.05 for stablecoin comets (Ethereum USDC, Ethereum USDT, Ethereum USDS, Arbitrum USDC Native, Arbitrum USDT, Base USDC Native, Polygon USDC, Polygon USDT, Optimism USDT, Optimism USDC, Scroll USDC)(high)
- Update borrow interest rate slope high from 4 to 3.4 for all stablecoin comets(high)
- Update supply interest rate slope low from 0.039 to 0.054 for all stablecoin comets(high)
- Update supply interest rate slope high from 3.6 to 3.034 for all stablecoin comets(high)
- Reduce Ethereum WETH borrow COMP rewards from 20 to 5(medium)
- Increase Arbitrum WETH supply COMP rewards from 6 to 10 and reduce borrow rewards from 15 to 5(medium)
- Eliminate Base WETH borrow COMP rewards (reduce from 1 to 0)(medium)
- Eliminate Optimism WETH borrow COMP rewards (reduce from 3 to 0)(medium)
Notable concerns
- This is Part 7 of a multi-part recommendation series, indicating ongoing parameter adjustments
- Significant reductions in COMP borrow incentives across multiple markets may affect borrower participation
- Supply incentive changes vary significantly by chain and asset, potentially affecting capital allocation across markets

[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 7
Summary
Gauntlet recommends updating the interest rate curves as well as COMP rewards for WETH and Stablecoin Comets. This proposal is Part 7 of the overarching recommendations to be implemented. In this proposal we specifically target Optimism USDC and USDT comet's IR curves along with COMP reward recommendations for Base WETH and all Optimism Comets.
Stablecoin Comets
The recommended curves are for the following comets:
| Comet |
|---|
| Ethereum USDC |
| Ethereum USDT |
| Ethereum USDS |
| Arbitrum USDC Native |
| Arbitrum USDT |
| Base USDC Native |
| Polygon USDC |
| Polygon USDT |
| Optimism USDT |
| Optimism USDC |
| Scroll USDC |
| Parameter | Current Value | Recommended Value |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Base | 0.015 | 0.015 |
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low | 0.0333 | 0.05 |
| Borrow Kink | 0.9 | 0.9 |
| Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High | 4 | 3.4 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Base | 0 | 0 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low | 0.039 | 0.054 |
| Supply Kink | 0.9 | 0.9 |
| Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High | 3.6 | 3.034 |
| Comet | Current COMP Supply Rewards | Recommended COMP Supply Rewards | Current COMP Borrow Rewards | Recommended COMP Borrow Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum WETH | 35 | No Change | 20 | 5 |
| Arbitrum WETH | 6 | 10 | 15 | 5 |
| Base WETH | 6 | No Change | 1 | 0 |
| Optimism WETH | 4 | No Change | 3 | 0 |
| Ethereum USDC | 70 | No Change | 71 | 35 |
| Ethereum USDT | 70 | No Change | 50 | 25 |
| Ethereum USDS | 25 | No Change | 25 | 5 |
| Arbitrum USDC | 17 | 20 | 50 | 10 |
| Arbitrum USDT | 7 | 15 | 35 | 10 |
| Base USDC | 13 | No Change | 5 | 0 |
| Polygon USDC | 8 | 0 | 3 | 0 |
| Polygon USDT | 8 | 0 | 4 | 0 |
| Optimism USDT | 5 | No Change | 5 | 0 |
| Optimism USDC | 5 | No Change | 5 | 0 |
| Scroll USDC | 6 | No Change | 2 | 0 |
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.
- 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.
