Evidence summary #
1 documented pause activation in trailing 12 months: LayerZero OFT bridge suspension on 2026-04-18 (precautionary, resolved 2026-04-20, ~48 hours). The core EthenaMinting V2 contract and USDe minting were NOT paused. The bridge suspension was a targeted action on the OFT cross-chain surface, not a full protocol pause. Scored yellow: 1 activation, even precautionary, is an event of note.
