Gauntlet recommends updating the interest rate curves as well as COMP rewards for WETH and Stablecoin Comets. This proposal is Part 7 of the overarching recommendations to be implemented. In this proposal we specifically target Optimism USDC and USDT comet's IR curves along with COMP reward recommendations for Base WETH and all Optimism Comets.
Stablecoin Comets
The recommended curves are for the following comets:
| Comet |

| Arbitrum USDC Native |
| Arbitrum USDT |
| Base USDC Native |
| Polygon USDC |
| Polygon USDT |
| Optimism USDT |
| Optimism USDC |
| Scroll USDC |
| Parameter | Current Value | Recommended Value |
|---|

Motivation
This recommendation aims to increase supply caps for various assets across multiple Comets. Gauntlet recommends to increase supply caps to increase capital efficiency within the Comets.
