Chaos Labs - Risk Parameter Updates - 09/03/24

Summary

A proposal to:

  • Increase UNI’s supply caps on Venus’s BNB Core Pool deployment.
  • Increase DOGE’s supply caps on Venus’s BNB Core Pool deployment.
  • Increase PT-weETH-26DEC2024’s supply caps on Venus’s Ethereum Liquid Staked ETH deployment.

Motivation

UNI (BNB)

UNI has reached 94% supply cap utilization on BNB Core Pool, and its borrow cap is at 45% capacity.

Supply Distribution

Most of the top UNI suppliers borrow stablecoins, such as USDT and USDC. Most suppliers maintain a high health score with a diverse mix of collaterals. Most of the top supply positions do not pose a risk of liquidation.

Overall, stablecoins represent 85.52% of the value borrowed against UNI.

Recommendation

Given users’ behavior and on-chain liquidity, we recommend increasing the supply cap to 900,000 UNI.

DOGE (BNB)

DOGE has reached 99% supply cap utilization on the BNB Core Pool, and its borrow cap is at 32% capacity.

Supply Distribution

The biggest DOGE supply position is significantly bigger than the rest, but its high health score poses a low liquidation risk. The majority of the DOGE collateral is used to borrow USDT and BNB. The first one, being a stablecoin, poses a low risk; the second one is more volatile, but the positions borrowing it maintain a safe health score.

Overall, USDT represents 54.53% of the value borrowed against DOGE.

Recommendation

Given users’ behavior and on-chain liquidity, we recommend increasing the supply cap to 120,000,000 DOGE.

PT-weETH-26DEC2024 (Ethereum)

PT-weETH-26DEC2024 has reached 97% supply cap utilization on Ethereum Liquid Staked ETH.

Supply Distribution

There are currently only 5 suppliers of PT-weETH-26DEC2024. Their health score is sufficient, and one of them is also using WETH to loop.

Overall, WETH represents 100% of the value borrowed against PT-weETH-26DEC2024.

Recommendation

Given users’ behavior and on-chain liquidity, we recommend increasing the supply cap to 5,000 PT-weETH-26DEC2024.
