[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 8
01Summary
Gauntlet proposes updating interest rate curves for stablecoin Comets (USDC, USDT, USDS) across multiple chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, and Scroll. Changes include increasing borrow and supply rate slopes while decreasing high slope rates to better align with market demand. This is Part 8 of a larger recommendation series.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- Increase Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.0333 to 0.05 across stablecoin Comets(medium)
- Decrease Annual Borrow Interest Rate Slope High from 4 to 3.4 across stablecoin Comets(medium)
- Increase Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope Low from 0.039 to 0.054 across stablecoin Comets(medium)
- Decrease Annual Supply Interest Rate Slope High from 3.6 to 3.034 across stablecoin Comets(medium)
- Maintain Annual Borrow Interest Rate Base at 0.015 and Supply Interest Rate Base at 0(low)
- Maintain Borrow Kink and Supply Kink at 0.9(low)
Notable concerns
- This is Part 8 of a series; coordination with other parts may be necessary
- Changes affect multiple chains and multiple stablecoin pairs simultaneously

02Description
[Gauntlet] - IR Curve and Incentive Recommendations for Stablecoin and WETH Comets - Part 8
Summary
Gauntlet recommends updating the interest rate curves as well as COMP rewards for WETH and Stablecoin Comets. This proposal is Part 8 of the overarching recommendations to be implemented. In this proposal we specifically target Polygon USDC and USDT comet's IR curves along with Scroll USDC comet's IR curves.
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 |
Motivation
- 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.
