Chaos Labs - Launch Parameters for Floki Lend Pool - 07/30/24

Summary

Chaos Labs has completed a comprehensive analysis to provide informed recommendations for the launch parameters for a Floki-centered pool on Venus BNB. These initial recommendations aim to ensure a safe and efficient launch and are the basis for future optimization post-launch after observing usage on each pool.

FLOKI, USDT/USDC, and WETH

Collateral Factor

  • We recommend starting with Collateral Factor and Liquidation Threshold parameters slightly less conservative than those of the same assets in the GameFi isolated pool.
  • TOKEN’s CF and LT are set according to its volatility.
  • These parameters may be further optimized utilizing our simulation platform after launch.

Supply and Borrow Caps

  • Initial supply caps are set according to our Supply Methodology. This methodology determines how much of a particular asset can be liquidated with less slippage than the Liquidation Incentive (10%). We recommend setting supply caps at two times this value.
  • Borrow caps are set to allow utilization over the Kink while preventing borrowing of all available supply if both caps are reached.
  • This is a conservative approach to listing, and we will recommend increasing caps if and when we observe high utilization.

Interest Rates

  • Recommendations are derived from observed historical rates and IR settings on other deployments.
  • Stablecoin parameters are aligned with those on other isolated pools, with higher multipliers to compensate suppliers for greater risk.

Additional Parameters

  • Close Factor: 50%
  • Liquidation Incentive: 10%
  • minLiquidatableCollateral: 100 USD

TOKEN

Collateral Factor

TOKEN has an average market cap of $120M over the last 180 days, with an average daily volume of $23M over that timeframe. Its 30-day daily annualized volatility is 135.41%, and its largest daily price drop was 20%.

Given these factors, we recommend a collateral factor of 40% and a liquidation threshold of 50%.

Supply and Borrow Caps

Following the methodology described above, we recommend a supply cap of 10M and a borrow cap of 5M.

Interest Rates

We recommend aligning TOKEN’s interest rates with FLOKI’s.

XVS

Given the large supply cap of XVS in the BNB Core Pool relative to on-chain liquidity, as well as the volatility of FLOKI and TOKEN, we do not recommend listing XVS in this pool.

Good proposal! We need floki isolated pool on BNB Chain!
