★ Flash-loanable voting weight
Jupiter's assessment for RD-F-036 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
JUP governance uses staked JUP with 30-day unstaking period, creating a meaningful lock against flash-loan voting attacks. Governance is voluntarily paused since June 2025, so attack surface is dormant. Pre-pause, the staking lock substantially mitigated flash-loan governance attacks. Scored yellow because: (1) staking checkpoint behavior at proposal creation vs continuous cannot be confirmed from closed-source Realms implementation; (2) governance pause itself is a governance failure mode.

Methodology #
Determine whether governance voting power is a function of current token balance of a transferable token with no lock or checkpoint, making it flash-loan susceptible.
