Seed-deposit requirement for new market listing

Evidence summary #

Deployment docs require admin-level reserve initialization before borrow-enable. No specific minimum seed deposit amount documented publicly. V2 permissionless market creation reduces barriers. Details not confirmed.

Detail #

Deployment docs (Mintlify) describe reserve initialization via `init_reserve` followed by parameter configuration. No explicit minimum seed deposit figure is documented in public sources. V1 markets were admin/governance gated. V2 permissionless market creation (any curator) means new reserves can be initialized without explicit governance approval of a seed deposit — the guardrail shifts to curator accountability and post-hoc borrow caps. Yellow reflects the data gap on minimum seed deposit and the lower barrier in V2.
