[GIP-151] Increase Credit Managers' debt limits on Arbitrum
AI summary
This proposal seeks to significantly increase the borrowing limits for all Credit Managers (CMs) on the Arbitrum network within the Gearbox protocol. Currently, CMs have specific debt limits based on their tier and the assets they manage, such as WETH and USDC. The motivation is that many CMs have reached their current limits, hindering further borrowing and utilization of the protocol. By raising these limits, the proposal aims to allow for greater capital efficiency and activity.
If this proposal passes, Credit Managers on Arbitrum will be able to borrow substantially more WETH and USDC, potentially increasing the overall trading volume and liquidity within the Gearbox protocol. This benefits users who utilize these CMs by allowing them more borrowing capacity, but it could also increase the protocol's exposure to potential defaults if not managed carefully.

Summary
This proposal aims to increase Credit Managers' debt limits on Arbitrum.
Motivation
Currently, risks associated with specific assets are managed through a thorough process of setting quota limits and LTs. However, Collateral Managers (CMs) lack specialization, resulting in CM-specific portfolios of allowed collaterals having very similar risk profiles.
For example, a Tier 2 WETH CM on Arbitrum differs from a higher-tier CM only due to the presence of the ARB token, which has the smallest quota and reduced LT.
Therefore, it is proposed to significantly increas…
