rubric v1.7.0

Quorum achievable via single-entity flash loan

Hyperliquid's assessment for RD-F-037 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Not flash-loan-exploitable (HYPE staking lockup prevents instantaneous quorum acquisition). However, Hyper Foundation holds >50% of staked HYPE through its 5 validators — the Foundation already has supermajority quorum unilaterally without any market action. Concentration risk rather than flash-loan risk.

Methodology #

Determine whether the governance quorum threshold is ≤ the largest available flash-loan notional in the governance token at reference DEX depth.
