Audit firm tier
Falcon Finance's assessment for RD-F-005 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Zellic is Tier-1 (covered USDf/sUSDf/FF). Pashov is established Tier-2. Post-TGE contracts (sFF, sFF-Prime, Staking Vault) have zero coverage from any tier firm — partial green threshold met.
Detail #
Zellic is an enumerated Tier-1 audit firm per the methodology firm registry. It covers USDf, sUSDf (core synthetic dollar and staking vault) and the FF governance token. Pashov Audit Group is a well-established Tier-2 firm with a comprehensive public GitHub audit index. Green threshold: 'at least one Tier-1 audit of deployed code.' This is met for USDf/sUSDf/FF but not for the full currently-deployed contract suite including post-TGE contracts. Scored yellow because the Tier-1 coverage gap on post-TGE contracts deployed after September 2025 represents a material portion of the live protocol.
