## Summary

Gauntlet recommends supply cap changes for one asset on Polygon Aave V3.

Per Gauntlet’s [supply and borrow cap methodology](https://governance.aave.com/t/gauntlet-methodologies-borrow-and-supply-cap/11487), we recommend increasing WMATIC supply cap to 120,000,000.

## Motivation

The supply cap for WMATIC surpassed the 75% threshold to 76% usage on Polygon Aave V3. Based on the asset’s market ADV and liquidity depth, our Methodology supports increasing the cap to 120M ($85M).

## Next Steps

Once we receive feedback from @ChaosLabs on the above recommendations, we will move forward with Risk Steward actions.

We’ve queued up the [transaction](https://app.safe.global/transactions/queue?safe=matic:0x2C40FB1ACe63084fc0bB95F83C31B5854C6C4cB5) to be executed via Risk Steward.

We’ve observed multiple withdrawals of WMATIC over the past few days, resulting in a current supply of approximately 66.69M WMATIC amounting to less than 64% of the supply cap. Considering this level of utilization, we suggest waiting with the execution of this proposal.

Given the WMATIC supply cap utilization has decreased to 61%, we have rejected the risk steward transaction. Once @ChaosLabs signs and executes the rejection, the risk steward transaction will be canceled.
