The Current avg RF Market rate is at 5% for wETH in the DeFi Landscape. Raising even more the wETH RF while governance [has already pre-approved](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-update-steth-and-weth-risk-params-on-aave-v3-ethereum-optimism-and-arbitrum/16168) a decreased RF to 10% may seem a weird proposal from Gauntlet. Just like refusing to raise the [MaticX Cap via the risk steward](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-maticx-supply-cap-increase-in-polygon-v3/16449/6) forcing wasted time & focus to going through an AIP snapshot & vote to allow Aave Growth seem confusing too. We would like to remind Gauntlet they work for the Aave protocol, and they’re mostly on the Aave protocol Payroll. --- _[View the full topic](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-gauntlet-parameter-recommendation-increase-weth-reserve-factor-on-v3-ethereum/16521)._
