[Gauntlet] Incentive Optimization Recommendations

# Simple Summary Gauntlet recommends the following adjustments to COMP incentives across comets. These adjustments are intended to encourage optimal utilization, lead to interest rate discovery, and optimize COMP spend across the protocol.

| Comet | Daily Borrow Incentive(in COMP) | Daily Supply Incentive(in COMP) | | --- | --- | --- | | Arbitrum USDC | 15→10 | 20→14 | | Arbitrum USDT | 15→11 | 15→11 | | Arbitrum WETH | 5→2 | 3→1 | | Base AERO | 8→4 | 3→1 | | Base USDC | 7→4 | 13→9 | | Base USDS | 12→9 | 24→15 | | Base WETH | 2→1 | 2→1 | | Ethereum USDC | 71→55 | 70→55 | | Ethereum USDS | 5→2 | 12.5→9 | | Ethereum USDT | 50→30 | 70→30 | | Etherem WETH | 20→10 | 10→5 | | Mantle USDe | 4→3 | 4→2 | | Optimism USDC | 4→2 | 2.5→1 | | Optimism USDT | 5→2 | 5→1 | Current spend is 522 COMP per day. We recommend reducing that by 177 COMP for a daily spend of 345 COMP. With the current COMP price at $29.45, this equates to $1.9M in emissions saved annually.
