Compound
Proposal: Risk Parameter Updates for ETH
Created: December 11th, 2021
Passed: No, failed on January 3rd
198,427 For
0 Against
What does it do: Set cETH collateral factor to 82.5%
Why: This proposal is a batch update of risk parameters to align with the Moderate risk level chosen by the Compound community. These parameter updates are the sixth of Gauntlet's regular parameter recommendations as part of Dynamic Risk Parameters.
Takeaway: This set of parameter updates seeks to level set assets to a Moderate risk level of the protocol while making risk trade-offs between specific assets. Note that some are different from the original risk level consensus check as market conditions have changed.

What does it do: Transfers all existing contributor streaming payments, which are currently indefinite, over to Sablier for one year terms from the start date
Why: Sablier allows for an easy streaming payment service for DAOs. Moving to Sablier will allow DAOs to pay their contributors more efficiently.
Takeaway: Compound looks to utilize Sablier as their payments solution.
Aave
Proposal: Risk Parameter Updates 2021-12-29
Created: January 6th, 2022

0 Against
What does it do: Adjusts nine (9) total risk parameters across seven (7) Aave V2 assets including LTV, Liquidation Threshold, and Liquidation Bonus.
Why: Gauntlet's risk model tells the protocols to make these switches.
Takeaway: I would say that Gauntlet is now a critical piece of infrastructure to both Compound and Aave.
Rari Capital
Proposal: Treasury Request: Development Wallet
Created: January 7th, 2022
Passed: Not yet,
0 RGT For
0 Against
What does it do: Replenishes the development wallet using $100,000 worth of fees from Fuse to pay gas costs for the Arbitrum deployment and ongoing protocol upgrades.
Why: The development wallet's Ethereum balance is running low and needs funds to maintain Rari's fast shipping schedule.
Takeaway: Fuse fees will be used to ensure that Rari is able to stay on the cutting edge through the delivery of new features, more specifically, for deploying Fuse on Arbitrum.
On-Chain Proposal: Whitelist ICHI DAO
Created: January 4th, 2022
Passed: Yes,
756.69 RGT For,
0 Against
What does it do: Whitelists ICHI DAO's Treasury (Gnosis Safe) as a pool creator.
Why: By whitelisting ICHI DAO as a pool creator it will enable the pool to be Verified. ICHI DAO's multisig controls the ICHI farm contracts and Olympus LP contract, which will be Verified as a result. Additionally, ICHI Pool is the first lending pool that supports ICHI assets and oneTokens and the move opens up the possibility of a future Rari integration with ICHI's website.
Takeaway: ICHI DAO are now Verified and will begin spreading awareness of the first lending platform to support all ICHI tokens.
On-Chain Proposal: Whitelist B.Protocol DAO as a Fuse Pool Creator
Created: December 30th, 2021
Passed: Yes,
1.02k RGT For,
0 Against
What does it do: Whitelists the B.Protocol DAO multisig as a B.Protocol pool creator, which will enable the multisig to create new verified backstopped pools.
Why: B.Protocol is designed to act as a backstop liquidity protocol, democratising the liquidation systems in DeFi so as to provide higher capital efficeincy and better security for both lending platforms and their users. By integrating B.Protocol with Rari Capital over Fuse it will enable yield bearing tokens to be backstopped by B.Protocol. In turn, this will provide a stable liquidation system, including for less liquid assets.
Takeaway: B.Protocol is now a pool creator. We see this move being beneficial for Rari, new platforms listed by B.Protocol and their users as creates a new kind of pool's class on Fuse with increased capital efficiency and better security. This could bring in new users and usability for Rari Capital as well.

What does it do: Proposes a partnership between GameFi Corner, a newsletter, and Rari Capital. Rari will provide sponsorship to the newsletter and in return will receive advertising space and extensive research.
Why: GameFi Corner are looking to grow (they currently only have 200 organic subscribers) and Rari Capital are looking to leverage their expertise, in addition to some additional marketing.
Takeaway: Rari Capital are now sponsors of GameFi Corner.
