rubric v1.7.0

Liquidity depth per major asset

Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-065 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

WETH/USDC/USDT are deeply liquid in normal conditions given $14B TVL. However, the rsETH/Kelp event demonstrated that LRT collateral (rsETH) lacked sufficient liquidation depth when 89,567 rsETH needed to be unwound simultaneously at a depeg — resulting in $123–230M bad debt that could not be liquidated. Asset-by-asset depth at 2%/5% price impact not quantified in this run.
