02Description
Rewards Contract Top-Up for Arbitrum, Base, and Unichain
Simple Summary
Gauntlet recommends adding additional COMP to the Compound v3 rewards contracts on Arbitrum, Base, and Unichain to ensure sufficient incentives are available to claim following recent changes to the L2 incentive cuts.
| Chain | Recommended Reward Top-up (COMP) |
|---|---|
| Arbitrum | 784 |
| Base | 828 |
| Unichain | 352 |
Motivation
Proposal 547, which has cut incentive emissions on L2 markets, has altered user claiming behaviour. As a result, a significant portion of the COMP previously held in the CometRewards contracts on several L2 networks has been claimed by users.
To ensure that rewards remain claimable and that the incentive claiming process continues to operate smoothly, Gauntlet recommends topping up the rewards contracts with additional COMP.

Specification
This proposal transfers COMP to the CometRewards contracts on the following networks:
- Arbitrum: 784 COMP
- Base: 828 COMP
- Unichain: 352 COMP
These funds will be used exclusively to replenish the reward contracts from which users can claim COMP incentives.
