Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
Circle USYC's assessment for RD-F-163 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No prior USYC/Hashnote security incidents (profile section 10: zero incidents). No peer-class comparison data available in hack DB for permissioned RWA token exploits. The USPD 78-day baseline applies to DeFi protocols; for admin-key-compromise class attacks on regulated token issuers, the reconnaissance period may be weeks to months (Bybit class: multi-week build-up; Drift DPRK class: months). Curator derivation from analogous incidents required for a baseline.

Report the average number of days of attacker reconnaissance activity before a strike on peer-class protocols (lending/DEX/bridge/perps), sourced from the hack database.
