Babylon Protocol's assessment for RD-F-019 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

ecrecover is an EVM precompile for ECDSA signature recovery. Babylon uses Schnorr signatures (BIP-340) for Bitcoin operations, Cosmos SDK amino/protobuf signing for Genesis chain, and EOTS for finality provider double-sign detection. No ecrecover usage exists in this non-EVM architecture.
