Forum post: Gauntlet Base/Moonbeam/Moonriver Monthly Recommendations
Author: Gauntlet
Summary: Wednesday, Gauntlet offered their monthly recommendations on risk parameters across the four Moonwell deployments.
- Base: Both supply and borrow caps for AERO were increased. Collateral Factors for WETH, cbETH, wstETH, and rETH were increased while the Collateral Factor USDbC was decreased. The Reserve Factor for USDbC was increased. IR parameters were recommended to be adjusted: AERO (increased Jump Multiplier) and USDC (decreased Multiplier).

IR parameters were recommended to be adjusted: USDC (increased Kink, decreased Multiplier, and increased Jump Multiplier), USDT (increased Kink, decreased Multiplier, and increased Jump Multiplier), and DAI (increased Kink, decreased Multiplier, and increased Jump Multiplier).
- Moonbeam: Borrow caps for USDC.wh, xcDOT, WETH.wh, and FRAX were decreased. Collateral Factors for USDC.wh, WETH.wh, WBTC.wh, and FRAX were decreased. One IR curve was recommended to be adjusted: FRAX (decreased Kink and increased Multiplier).
