## Simple Summary

In accordance with our Borrow and Supply Cap [Methodology](https://governance.aave.com/t/gauntlet-methodologies-borrow-and-supply-cap/11487), Gauntlet would like to raise the cap of the above asset to the following:

Thanks for putting forward this proposal @seawolf.

Please note there is already a proposal in place to increase the supply cap for WBTC on V3 Polygon - [[ARFC] Chaos Labs Supply and Borrow Cap Updates - 04.21.2023 ](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-chaos-labs-supply-and-borrow-cap-updates-04-21-2023/12845). This proposal has already passed but whas canceled due to the withdrawal of our prop power. We are working on resubmitting the AIP shortly.

Additionaly, it is important to clear up some discrepancies in the post to ensure accuracy and clarity:

1. The current CAP for WBTC in the table is incorrect, showing 1,170 (the current supply) instead of 1,548 (the current cap).
2. The recommendation for WBTC refers to the **supply cap** despite the table header indicating “borrow cap.” This is probably a typo but should be corrected to avoid any ongoing confusion.

@ChaosLabs Thanks for the clarification on the WBTC supply cap proposal [[ARFC] Chaos Labs Supply and Borrow Cap Updates - 04.21.2023](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-chaos-labs-supply-and-borrow-cap-updates-04-21-2023/12845). Since the proposal has passed, we are removing WBTC recommendation from this proposal.

Given the fast-track process for cap changes, we will not publish a Snapshot vote, but rather move directly to AIP on Monday, 5/15.
