Vulnerability details

The constant blocksPerYear in WhitePaperInterestRateModel.sol is set to 2102400 which is the number of blocks in a year for a block time of 15 seconds, but the protocol will be deployed on BSC which has a block time of ~3 seconds.

Impact

The borrow rate of pools using the WhitePaperInterestRateModel.sol interest rate strategy will be ~5 times bigger than expected.

Details

The constant blocksPerYear is 5 times smaller than expected and is used in the constructor to set 2 immutable constants baseRatePerBlock and multiplierPerBlock:

baseRatePerBlock = baseRatePerYear / blocksPerYear;
multiplierPerBlock = multiplierPerYear / blocksPerYear;

which will be both set to a value ~5 times bigger than expected.

The 2 constants are then used in the getBorrowRate as multiplier and added to calculate the borrow rate:

return ((ur * multiplierPerBlock) / BASE) + baseRatePerBlock;

which will result in a value ~5 times bigger than expected.

Mitigation

Set the constant blocksPerYear to 10512000, like correctly done in BaseJumpRateModelV2.sol.
