Update cCOMP Parameters (Borrow Cap and Interest Rate Model)

COMP’s borrow balance has been hitting the 90,750 cap since early September. Gauntlet has limited market risk concerns with Monet’s borrower cap increase, but we want to note that around 90% of the borrowing is being driven by this one account. This user’s borrowing behavior will probably be elastic to the interest rate parameter changes.

As noted by @monet-supply, the borrow cap on COMP was initially set to prevent governance manipulations. Gauntlet doesn’t assess governance risk, but governance risk has been partially mitigated by stronger voter participation (550k+). From a market risk perspective, it is unlikely that increasing cCOMP borrower cap to 150k will add outsized risk to the protocol.
