Analysis

Supply Caps

Given the observed slippage, Gauntlet recommends setting the supply cap to 200 XAUt. The slippage is under 1%, which is well below the 10% liquidation penalty, ensuring sufficient incentive for liquidators. We recommend setting the supply cap relatively low to gauge market demand and increasing it as needed when demand is validated.

CF/LF/LP

Gauntlet recommends aligning with the liquidation penalty (LP) with other blue-chip non-stable collaterals on the comet at 10%. We recommend setting CF to 70% and the LF to 75% to maintain a standard 5% buffer.
