[Gauntlet] Risk Recommendations (2024-08-06)

Summary

Gauntlet recommends the following risk recommendations to the v3 markets:

  • Increase WETH Ethereum ezETH Supply Cap from 8,000 to 12,000
  • Increase WETH Arbitrum weETH Supply Cap from 6,000 to 12,000

Analysis


The integration of exchange rate price LRTs allows Gauntlet to recommend more capital-efficient parameters, as these assets are shielded from market fluctuations. However, this approach does introduce exposure to tail-end risks. By utilizing exchange rate price feeds, Gauntlet is able to recommend supply caps that are not constrained by market impact or on-chain liquidity constraints, although liquidity considerations remain relevant for comprehensive risk assessment.
