Chaos Labs - Risk Parameter Update - 2/7/25

Summary

A proposal to:

  • Increase THE’s supply and borrow caps on Venus’s BNB Core deployment.

THE (BNB Core)

THE has reached 100% supply cap utilization and 82% borrow cap utilization following recent cap increases.

Supply Distribution

THE’s supply is not highly concentrated and, as was the case ahead of the last cap increase, all of the top suppliers maintain relatively strong health scores, loop, or do not borrow against their position.

USDT continues to be the most popular asset borrowed against THE, followed by THE itself.

Borrow Distribution

As described above and in the previous recommendation, there is some looping in the market; most of the largest THE borrow positions are against THE collateral combined with other collateral assets, reducing the risk of liquidation. There is a user borrowing 250K THE against USDC and USDT, though they maintain an extremely high health score.

Recommendation

Given user behavior and on-chain liquidity, we recommend increasing the asset’s supply and borrow caps.

This increase is backed by Chaos Labs’ risk simulations, which consider user behavior, on-chain liquidity, and price impact, ensuring that the higher cap does not introduce additional risk to the platform.

Specification

Market Asset Current Supply Cap Recommended Supply Cap Current Borrow Cap Recommended Borrow Cap
BNB Core Pool THE 4,800,000 12,000,000 2,400,000 6,000,000
