MKR, AAVE, SUSHI, and YFI are well established projects in the space and they will be valuable additions to Compound. The decision to use a starting collateral factor of 0 also mitigates the risk posed by the asset listing and we look forward to discussing how we can raise those collateral factors over time. LINK is also ripe for a CF update.
Brendan makes some good points about potential risk factors, to chime in here, one other potential risk factor is the behavior of borrowers, which can change over time. The more aggressive people are with their collateral ratio, the more collateral is at risk for liquidation. At Gauntlet, we’ve thought about these risk factors quite a bit, and I’d be happy to help with a listing framework as well.
