Deprecated contract paused but pause reversible by live admin
BENQI's assessment for RD-F-167 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
BENQI has some low-activity or effectively-deprecated markets (e.g., qiBUSD post-BUSD depeg in 2023). Comptroller admin retains pause and unpause authority on all listed markets including deprecated ones. No confirmed formal deprecation-and-pause of a specific market, but the structural capability for admin to pause/unpause deprecated surfaces without renouncing the role creates ongoing admin-scope exposure to deprecated surfaces.
