Timelock duration on upgrades

ether.fi's assessment for RD-F-032 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

On-chain getMinDelay() = 3,600 seconds (1 hour). At $5.1B TVL this is materially below industry standard. Lido uses 24h, MakerDAO uses 48h, Compound uses 48h. A 1-hour window provides minimal user-exit protection if a malicious upgrade is proposed. Profile noted a potential '3-day operational policy' but on-chain minimum is the binding constraint.
