Add tBTC as collateral into cUSDTv3 on Arbitrum
01Summary
WOOF! proposes to add tBTC as collateral to the cUSDTv3 market on Arbitrum network. The proposal implements risk parameters recommended by Gauntlet and has been validated through Comet scenario simulations. The governance action deploys an addAsset call and upgrades the contract via an Arbitrum retryable ticket.

02Description
Add tBTC as collateral into cUSDTv3 on Arbitrum
Proposal summary
WOOF! proposes to add tBTC into cUSDTv3 on Arbitrum network. This proposal takes the governance steps recommended and necessary to update a Compound III USDT 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.
Proposal Actions
The first proposal action adds tBTC to the USDT Comet on Arbitrum. This sends the encoded 'addAsset' and 'deployAndUpgradeTo' calls across the bridge to the governance receiver on Arbitrum.
03Mismatch analysis
The proposal describes a single high-level action: bridging encoded 'addAsset' and 'deployAndUpgradeTo' calls to the Arbitrum governance receiver in order to add tBTC as collateral to the cUSDTv3 market, with risk parameters per Gauntlet's recommendations. The single decoded on-chain action is exactly a createRetryableTicket call (the standard Arbitrum L1->L2 bridging mechanism) whose inner calldata, when inspected, contains function selectors matching 'addAsset(address,(address,address,address,uint8,uint64,uint64,uint64,uint128))' and 'deployAndUpgradeTo(address,address)', targeting an address consistent with the Arbitrum governance bridge/inbox. This structurally and semantically matches the description's claim exactly — there is no separate action, no unexplained transfer of funds beyond the standard ETH value needed to cover L2 gas/submission costs (which is boilerplate for retryable tickets, not a value transfer to a beneficiary), and no target mismatch. The specific numeric risk parameters (collateral factors, supply caps, price feed) are encoded in the packed bytes and cannot be independently decoded here into human-readable percentages, but the description does not make specific numeric claims beyond referencing Gauntlet's published recommendations, so there is nothing to falsify at that level of granularity. Given the action count, target, and function calls fully align with the prose, I find no discrepancies significant enough to flag.
