Iā€™m supportive of this RFC to update Base USDC yield sources. Adding these ARKs spanning Clearstar, 40Acres, Midas, Gauntlet, and Euler; broadens diversification and strengthens Base-native yield options.

Looking forward to the @BlockAnalitica risk review for pending ARKs before promoting this one onto the SIP.
