[Gauntlet] - USDbC Deprecation Recommendations
01Summary
Gauntlet recommends updating risk parameters and interest rate curves for the Base USDbC comet to facilitate its deprecation. Changes include reducing WETH and cbETH supply caps to zero, adjusting collateral and liquidation factors, increasing liquidation penalties, and modifying borrow/supply interest rate curves to make the market less attractive.
- Type
- parameter change
Key changes
- WETH supply cap reduced from 1100 to 0(high)
- WETH collateral factor reduced from 69% to 45%(high)
- WETH liquidation factor reduced from 74% to 64%(medium)
- WETH liquidation penalty increased from 5% to 15%(medium)
- cbETH supply cap reduced from 350 to 0(high)
- cbETH collateral factor reduced from 65% to 45%(high)
- cbETH liquidation factor reduced from 70% to 60%(medium)
- cbETH liquidation penalty increased from 15% to 20%(medium)
Notable concerns
- Setting supply caps to zero prevents new deposits of WETH and cbETH, effectively halting market activity for these assets
- The coordinated reduction in collateral factors and increase in liquidation penalties makes the market significantly riskier for existing users
- Lower interest rates on supply side reduces incentive for liquidity providers

- [Gauntlet] Base USDbC Deprecation Recommendations (12/5/24) ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- Setting supply caps to zero for WETH and cbETH will prevent new suppliers from entering the market and accelerate deprecation.— Gauntlet
- Reducing collateral and liquidation factors makes the market less appealing without immediately liquidating existing users.— Gauntlet
- Increased liquidation penalties disincentivize usage by raising the cost of liquidation while reducing risk to the comet.— Gauntlet
- Raising the borrow interest rate base and adjusting the rate curve slopes will make borrowing more expensive and discourage TVL inflows.— Gauntlet
- Reducing kink from 90% to 85% and adjusting slope values ensures more stable reserve growth while encouraging market deprecation.— Gauntlet
Arguments against
None surfaced.
