This is the monthly continuation of CapRiskSteward updates. Original thread: [April 2025] Non-critical Parameter Updates by Risk Stewards
Summary
Euler Labs and Objective Labs recently developed the CapRiskSteward smart contract as a fast lane for non-critical parameter updates. Following its implementation for the Euler DAO markets, we propose that service providers follow a notification process for in-scope changes. By establishing this process we seek to give the Euler community full transparency into the work done by service providers to optimize and grow Euler DAO markets.

Gauntlet has reviewed the Euler Yield proposal from Objective Labs covering caps for PT‑cUSDO‑19JUN2025, mMEV and mEDGE, comments below:
PT‑cUSDO‑19JUN2025
We support raising the supply cap from 16M to 24M cUSDO. Supply usage has remained near 100%, signaling persistent user demand. Liquidity conditions remain healthy relative to the proposed cap.
mMEV / mEDGE
We are aligned with reducing the supply caps to 2.7M (mMEV) and 2M (mEDGE). The rationale is identical to our 29 April recommendation: each index has compounded leverage‑on‑leverage exposure while instant‑redemption depth remains thin, so smaller caps better match risk with available liquidity.

Gauntlet has reviewed Objective Labs’ proposal and supports increasing the PT‑cUSDO‑19JUN2025 supply cap from 24 M to 36 M cUSDO. Supply usage has stayed above 90 %, confirming persistent user demand, while on‑chain liquidity remains robust. The principal token carries low holding‑period risk, so a higher cap offers a clear growth opportunity without materially increasing Euler’s risk profile.

Objective Labs: Parameter Updates on Ethereum (2025-05-08)
| Market |
Vault |
Supply Cap |
Borrow Cap |
| Euler Prime |
WETH |
70k → 100k |
63k → 90k |
| Euler Prime |
USDC |
50M → 75M |
45M → 67.5M |
| Euler Prime |
rsETH |
24k → 36k |
6k → 9k |
| Euler Prime |
weETH |
13k → 18k |
3.12k → 4.5k |
Rationale
- Euler Prime WETH has hit 81% supply cap utilization and 70% borrow cap utilization.
- Euler Prime USDC has hit 85% supply cap utilization and 79% borrow cap utilization.
- Euler Prime rsETH has hit 68% supply cap utilization.
- Euler Prime weETH has hit 71% supply cap utilization.
Proactive cap increases allow Euler Prime to continue scaling and accommodate rising demand from large LPs.

Gauntlet has reviewed the Objective Labs proposal to raise supply and borrow caps for WETH, USDC, rsETH, and weETH on Euler Prime and supports all four increases.
USDC (50 M → 75 M supply / 45 M → 67.5 M borrow)
USDC remains a low-risk asset & liquidity remains robust on Mainnet.
WETH (70 k → 100 k supply / 63 k → 90 k borrow)
WETH usage is climbing, and the supplier base is well diversified, keeping counterparty risk low. A 100k WETH on‑chain swap to stables would move the price by > 20 percent when aggregating a swap across DEXs. The proposed cap strikes a prudent balance between growth and liquidation‑slippage risk.
rsETH (24 k → 36 k supply / 6 k → 9 k borrow) & weETH (13 k → 18 k supply / 3.12 k → 4.5 k borrow)
The top collateral positions for both LRTs are dominated by looping WETH, keeping concentration risk low.

Gauntlet has reviewed the proposal from Objective Labs, comments below:
- USDC cap increase is low risk.
- PT-cUSDO remains relatively low risk. Top 10 collateral positions are against USDC debt with sufficiently high average health and the major DEX pool’s liquidity has increased to 40M since the previous cap increase.
- eUSDe cap increase is relatively low risk. USDe atomic liquidity has markedly increased on-chain, with ~50M swap to stablecoin incurring at most ~20% slippage, versus <= ~40M the previous month.
- mMEV cap decrease is aligned with recent analysis to reduce exposure.
- Recent borrowing usage of stablecoins has caused sharp temporary utilization spikes, leading to highly volatile rates past the IRM kink. We agree that the utility of lowering the max borrow APY and lowering rate volatility likely outweighs the opportunity cost to suppliers. 40% max borrow APY is currently a reasonable upper bound.
- At present, utilizations of Euler Prime stablecoin borrow APYs slightly tracks behind Aave. We agree that increasing the kink borrow APY by 0.5% will more closely match recent demand.
- Given the demand premium in Euler Yield for borrowing stablecoins as well as the recent general increase in market stablecoin demand, a 0.5% kink borrow APY raise in this market is expected to attract more supply while retaining sticky borrowers. We think this is reasonable to try to bolster growth given current conditions, though we will monitor for depressed utilization that may result, as current rates are already competitive.
- WETH Prime utilization has been oscillating close to the kink with the borrow APY slightly trailing Aave’s. Therefore we are aligned with the kink borrow APY increase by 0.2%.
- The proposed eUSDe kink change is already aligned with our latest recommendation.
