# Summary

A proposal to increase:

### Gnosis

- EURe - Supply and Borrow Cap
- USDC - Supply and Borrow Cap
- wstETH - Supply Cap

# Motivation

The recommendations below were made utilizing Chaos’ supply and borrow cap methodologies and after analyzing user positions for each asset.

**EURe**

The supply cap for EURe on Gnosis V3 is currently at 89% utilization.

 ![Untitled - 2024-02-13T161227.127](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aave/original/2X/b/b8c2840564c3e348dc95fba78c333faca6ae88cf.png)

Given current liquidity and as EURe is listed as a non-collateral asset, we recommend increasing the supply cap by 2X to 1,5M and the borrow cap to 1.4M.

**USDC**

The supply cap for USDC on Gnosis V3 is currently at 84% utilization.

Considering the liquidity on Gnosis we recommend doubling the supply and borrow cap and setting them at 3M and 2.8M, respectively.

**wstETH**

The supply cap for wstETH on Gnosis V3 is currently at 82% utilization.

wstETH is currently primarily used to borrow WETH, as can be seen in the borrow distribution chart on the [Chaos Risk Platform](https://community.chaoslabs.xyz/aave/risk/markets/Gnosis/listed-assets/wstETH):

 ![Untitled - 2024-02-13T161246.994](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aave/original/2X/7/7c3fc671621c25d03d2070cdd6573e88be111a82.png)

Utilizing our methodology for LSTs and considering liquidity conditions and the borrow distribution on Aave, we recommend increasing the wstETH supply cap to 7.5K.

# Specification

| Chain | Asset | Current Supply Cap | Recommended Supply Cap | Current Borrow Cap | Recommended Borrow Cap |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Gnosis | EURe | 750,000 | 1,500,000 | 750,000 | 1,400,000 |
| Gnosis | USDC | 1,500,000 | 3,000,000 | 1,500,000 | 2,800,000 |
| Gnosis | wstETH | 5,000 | 7,500 | 400 | N/A |

# Next Steps

Once we receive feedback from [@Gauntlet](https://governance.aave.com/u/gauntlet) on the above recommendations, we will move forward to implement these updates via the Risk Steward process.

Based on Gauntlet’s supply and borrow cap [methodology](https://governance.aave.com/t/gauntlet-methodologies-borrow-and-supply-cap/11487), Gauntlet supports increasing the caps for EURe, wstETH, and USDC to recommended amounts.
