[ARFC] Chaos Labs Risk Stewards - Increase GHO Borrow Caps on Arbitrum V3 - 09/26/24

Summary

A proposal to:

  • Increase GHO’s borrow cap on the Arbitrum V3 deployment.

Motivation

GHO (Arbitrum)

GHO has reached 50% supply cap utilization and its borrow cap is at 37% utilization. While these figures are relatively low, we anticipate an influx of demand given newly increase ARB borrow incentives.

Supply Distribution

Supply is relatively well distributed, with no single user dominating. Importantly, this asset cannot be used as collateral.

Borrow Distribution

Borrows are against a variety of different collateral, with the two largest presenting limited risk of liquidation.

Recommendation

Given anticipated user behavior in light of incentives, we recommend increasing the borrow cap.

Arbitrum GHO 16,000,000 - 9,000,000 14,000,000
