[Gauntlet] Incentive Optimization Recommendations (Mainnet, Arbitrum, and Base)

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 USDT	50→30	70→30

Current spend is 522 COMP per day. We recommend reducing that by 142 COMP for a daily spend of 380 COMP. With the current COMP price at $24.36, this equates to $1.25M in emissions saved annually.
