Creation of Linea Market

Author: Euler Labs
Date: 2025-08-07

Summary
Euler is officially deploying on Linea Mainnet. Linea is a type 2 zero knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM). A zkEVM replicates the Ethereum environment as a rollup.

The Euler market on Linea will establish dedicated lending and borrowing facilities for blue chip assets to facilitate common trades like blue chip lending, stablecoin borrowing, and LST/LRT looping. This market positions Euler as a key competitor in the lending landscape on Linea while supporting key DEX pairs through EulerSwap.

Specification
New Potential Assets

  • Assets: Renzo ETH, WETH, EtherFi ETH, USDC, WBTC, USDT, Wrapped Staked ETH, DAI, USDe, Kelp ETH, EURe

Risk Management
Euler Linea will be governed by Euler DAO and risk-managed by Gauntlet and Objective Labs. Euler Labs invites Gauntlet and Objective Labs to provide initial recommendations for risk parameters for the Euler Linea market.

[Objective Labs] Initial Parameters for Euler Linea Markets

Summary

Objective Labs recommends initial support for a core set of assets: ezETH, weETH, wstETH, wrsETH, WETH.

To improve risk isolation and align with early liquidity conditions, LSTs will be isolated in self-contained markets.This structure allows for targeted risk management per asset while offering ETH-native borrowing strategies. A key objective is to limit tail risk due to insufficient liquidity.

Liquidity

Assets demonstrate solid growing onchain liquidity on Linea:

  • ETH β†’ USDC: 400 ETH incurs ~0.95% slippage.
  • wstETH β†’ WETH: 1700 wstETH incurs ~1.36% slippage.
  • weETH β†’ WETH: 1300 weETH incurs ~0.95% slippage.
  • ezETH β†’ WETH: 1000 ezETH incurs ~0.92% slippage.
  • wrsETH β†’ WETH: 1300 wrsETH incurs ~0.75% slippage.
  • USDC & USDT:
    • USDC: ~18.2M supply, 506K+ holders
    • USDT: ~4.7M supply, 226K+ holders

Due to low liquidity in stablecoins, we recommend deploying vaults for USDC, USDT, DAI, USDe, EURe at a later date.

Structure

We propose initially establishing 4 isolated markets. Each market will have two vaults, (LST) and WETH. Bidirectional borrows will be enabled for EulerSwap.

  • Euler Linea wstETH
  • Euler Linea weETH
  • Euler Linea ezETH
  • Euler Linea wrsETH

In the following tables β€œ(LST)” denotes the LST asset for the respective market.

LTVs

Collateral Debt LLTV OLTV
(LST) WETH 95% 94%
WETH (LST) 93% 92%

Caps

Market Asset Supply Cap Borrow Cap
Euler Linea wstETH wstETH 10000 5000
Euler Linea weETH weETH 5000 2500
Euler Linea ezETH ezETH 5000 2500
Euler Linea wrsETH wrsETH 5000 2500
(All Markets) WETH 20000 -

IRMs

Market Asset Base rate Kink Rate at kink Rate at max
(All Markets) WETH 0% 90% 2.7% 8%
(All Markets) (LST) 0% 50% 2% 12%

We recommend a standard 10% interest fee on all vaults.

Oracles

We recommend using WETH as the unit of account, or alternatively, the Chainlink ETH/USD as a cross oracle for all markets and vaults.

Asset Price Feed
WETH -
ezETH Chainlink ezETH/ETH (Fundamental)
weETH Chainlink weETH/ETH (Fundamental)
wstETH Chainlink wstETH/ETH (Fundamental)
wrsETH -

Note: wrsETH has no active price feed. We recommend delaying whitelisting of Euler Linea wrsETH until a suitable push oracle is deployed and configured.

Summary

We discussed this with Euler Labs last week. Gauntlet supports Objective Labs’ initial parameter recommendations, with the caveat that the existing DeRisk AutoStrategy will govern supply/borrow caps. Beginning 45 days after market launch, caps will be reviewed and adjusted based on observed demand and liquidity.

Rationale

Caps: Objective Labs’ proposed caps are relatively aggressive compared with current DEX liquidity on Linea (ETH and LST pairs). To support early growth, we align with launching higher caps; however, if demand does not materialize as expected, we will proactively reduce caps in accordance with the existing derisking automation strategies set in place.
