Partial-drain test transactions
Ethena's assessment for RD-F-091 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No known partial-drain test-transaction pattern against Ethena core contracts. EthenaMinting uses institutional whitelisted minter addresses (MINTER_ROLE gate) — the architecture does not expose a publicly callable drain function. OES custody model (spot collateral off-exchange at Copper, Ceffu, Anchorage, Kraken) means an on-chain partial-drain pattern is not the applicable attack vector. Pause mechanism via GATEKEEPER_ROLE is available to interrupt activity.

Methodology #
Detect one or more small-value outflows prior to a larger drain that match a known pre-strike pattern (low-value same-function calls from new wallet).
