Summary
Gauntlet reviewed current Loan-to-Value (LTV) parameters across ETH, LSTs, and LRTs on Base. Based on market comparisons and internal modeling, we recommend modest adjustments to maintain competitiveness while ensuring robust risk controls:
Recommendations
Liquid Staking / Restaking Tokens (LSTs, LRTs)
- LTVs are ~50 bps below comparable market levels on Base
We recommend the following adjustments:
| Collateral / Debt | cbETH | ezETH | rETH | weETH | WETH | wstETH | wsuperOETHb |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ezETH | 0.90 → 0.91 | - | 0.90 → 0.91 | 0.90 → 0.91 | 0.90 → 0.91 | 0.90 → 0.91 | 0.80 → 0.81 |
| weETH | 0.93 → 0.935 | 0.93 → 0.935 | 0.93 → 0.935 | - | 0.93 → 0.94 | 0.93 → 0.935 | 0.80 → 0.805 |
| wstETH | 0.93 → 0.935 | 0.93 → 0.935 | 0.93 → 0.935 | 0.93 → 0.935 | 0.93 → 0.94 | - | 0.80 → 0.805 |
Rationale
- Competitiveness: Proposed LTVs will aid in driving user demand while keeping a conservative risk buffer
- Parameter Calibration: Increases are modest (5-10 bps) and align with on-chain liquidity and volatility metrics while maintaining effective liquidation support
