Add tBTC as collateral into cUSDCv3 on Arbitrum
Proposal summary
WOOF! proposes to add tBTC into cUSDCv3 on Arbitrum network. This proposal takes the governance steps recommended and necessary to update a Compound III USDC market on Arbitrum. Simulations have confirmed the market’s readiness, as much as possible, using the Comet scenario suite. The new parameters include setting the risk parameters based off of the recommendations from Gauntlet.
Further detailed information can be found on the corresponding proposal pull request and forum discussion.
