Analysis

wstETH (contract address 0xc1CBa3fCea344f92D9239c08C0568f6F2F0ee452) has recently launched on BASE. We recommend setting a conservative supply cap of 100 to start, with plans of increasing it as liquidity continues to grow on-chain.

wstETH liquidity on Ethereum and Arbitrum is considerably higher. The recommended supply caps are set to values which result in ~10% DEX slippage, with the optionality to increase them if the market shows demand.
