[Gauntlet] Supply Cap Recommendations for cbBTC on Base USDS

Simple Summary

Gauntlet recommends the following supply cap adjustments to the protocol:

Supply Cap Recommendations

Status Comet Asset Supply Cap
Current Base USDS cbBTC 0
Proposed Base USDS cbBTC 450

Rationale

  • The current supply cap is set at 0, given a lack of liquidity when the market was initially listed. However, as liquidity has grown, there is sufficient rationale to set a non-zero supply cap.
  • Given that cbBTC currently has a 5% liquidation penalty, Gauntlet proposes setting the supply cap to 450. At this level, the entire supply cap could be liquidated effectively with only ~2.10% slippage.
