Thanks for putting up the Disclaimer @twinker.
However we would love to know more details about your identity as we can see that you joined the forum just 2 hours ago and put this up as your first comment in this thread. Having no involvement in a proposal that was put up so long ago but suddenly putting this up is a bit fishy.
I was thinking someone would put these points up at some point, coz to me it is somewhat concerning as Gauntlet has already chosen to vote on this proposal.
Another disclaimer to add here is that Gauntlet is right now the largest curator on Morpho. They also took the bold step to leave AAVE and join Morpho a year back. You can find more details about how much incentives Gauntlet generated from Morpho right here.
I request @Gauntlet to revert back on this thread on some questions you have posted to have public declaration and proof that nothing shall go against the Compound DAO in the future.
We have also recently posted about the same conflict of interest issue that Gauntlet shouldn’t have voted on this proposal. You can find it here.
While it is completely fair for Tarun and Robot Ventures to pursue investments in Morpho, we as a DAO need to ensure that nothing harms Compound in the long run.
Also another disclosure to make is - Marc Zeller and the AAVE ACI has had previous conflicts with Gauntlet due to a strained relationship. But in no way should we as a DAO make any decisions about this considering AAVE’s stand on Gauntlet. Gauntlet has been a trusted risk management service provider to the DAO and we are here to work together with them to get more transparency on this matter. So its erroneous to call this a Vampire attack of any kind.
Also sighting another interesting case study for the DAO to really think about solving the conflict of interest.
While Gauntlet handles all the core markets and their recommendations for Moonwell, Moonwell DAO has delegated curation of their Morpho vaults to two other set of Risk Mangers - Block Analytica and B.Protocol (RiskDAO). This removes the question of the conflict of interest. Here’s the link to get more details - Morpho - Moonwell Governance Forum
