Seed-deposit requirement for new market listing

Evidence summary #

Factor is lending-market-specific (seed deposit for new cToken markets). No direct equivalent in the perps context. HIP-3 permissionless perps require 500,000 HYPE staked by deployers — this is an economic barrier analogous to a seed requirement, and it is slashable for malicious operation. However, it is a stake requirement, not a seed deposit in the technical cToken sense. For legacy HyperCore curated perps, no formal seed deposit requirement exists (Hyperliquid Labs curates listings unilaterally). Scoring gray due to factor-type mismatch; perps-context risk is assessed under F072/F067.
