[GIP-162] Onboard RE7LRT on Ethereum
AI summary
This proposal, GIP-162, seeks to add RE7LRT, a Mellow vault token, to the Gearbox protocol on Ethereum. RE7LRT is managed by RE7 Capital and holds over 12,000 wstETH. The proposal recommends setting a quota limit of 7,000 for RE7LRT, aligning with limits for other Mellow LRTs, and proposes specific financial parameters like a minimum interest rate of 0.5% and a maximum of 30%. This integration aims to expand the types of assets users can leverage within Gearbox, specifically targeting exposure to Symbiotic restaking infrastructure.
If approved, Gearbox users will be able to use RE7LRT as collateral, increasing the protocol's utility and offering more options for restaking exposure. This benefits users seeking to leverage their RE7LRT holdings. The primary risk is tied to the underlying Mellow vault and Symbiotic restaking infrastructure, which the analysis acknowledges but does not fully mitigate.

Summary
Chaos Labs has conducted research on the potential integration of RE7LRT and recommends implementing it using similar parameters to those previously applied in the integration of Mellow LRTs.
Note: The following analysis is based exclusively on market risk considerations, deliberately excluding centralization and third-party risk factors. Should the community seek to mitigate exposure to Mellow, it may be prudent to consider the implementation of more conservative supply and borrow caps.
