[Gauntlet] Risk Parameter Recommendations for RLP on Euler Arbitrum Yield

Simple Summary

Gauntlet recommends the following updates to risk parameters for RLP on Euler Arbitrum Yield:

Max LTV & LLTV

Gauntlet recommends reducing Borrow LTV and LLTV by 1.5% for all vaults where RLP is a collateral.

Vault Borrow LTV LLTV
USDC 86%→ 84.5% 88%→ 86.5%
USD₮0 86%→ 84.5% 88%→ 86.5%
USDS 85%→83.5% 87%→85.5%
sUSDS 85%→83.5% 87%→85.5%
sUSDC 85%→83.5% 87%→85.5%
USDe 83%→81.5% 85%→83.5%

Supply Cap

Gauntlet also recommends a 25% reduction in the supply cap to prevent any additional exposure.

Vault Supply Cap
RLP 7,500,000→5,625,000

Rationale

Gauntlet observes that a substantial number of supplied positions in RLP are at relatively low health factors(as seen below).

Health Factor Borrow Balance (in $)
1.038 4,446,885
1.045 332,510
1.045 1,038,591
1.057 1,447,398
1.100 21,978
1.120 414,846
1.172 11,369
14.134 1,114

To derisk RLP, we recommend 1.5% reductions in Max LTVs and LLTVs across the board. Note that the lowest health factor in the vault is currently 1.038 so these changes should NOT incur any liquidations due to the 1.5% reduction in LLTV. We also recommend a 25% cut to the supply cap to reduce overall exposure.

Next Steps

  • We welcome community feedback.

Objective Labs has reviewed Gauntlet’s recommendations for RLP on Arbitrum Yield.

At this point we do not believe the LTV reduction is justified. An 88% LLTV for RLP is well within the safety threshold for the market. While RLP is an asset that could yield negative due to funding rate reversal or a similar shock, it has been remarkably stable since inception. Historically RLP’s worst multi-day drop is lower than 2%.
