Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
Maple Finance's assessment for RD-F-163 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Institutional lending class reconnaissance time varies; no Maple-specific hack DB sample. For smart-contract lending exploits broadly, reconnaissance ranges 7-30+ days. Insufficient protocol-specific data for precise estimate.
Detail #
Threshold: green = ≥30 days average reconnaissance for class; yellow = 7-29 days; red = <7 days. Observed: hack DB has zero smart-contract exploits for Maple. For the institutional lending class, the Orthogonal Trading default (Dec 2022) was a credit/operational event with long prior warning (FTX contagion in Nov 2022 → default in Dec 2022, ~30-day warning). For smart contract lending exploits in peer protocols, reconnaissance typically 7-30+ days. Insufficient protocol-specific sample; class average provides weak signal. Rated yellow on insufficient sample.

Methodology #
Report the average number of days of attacker reconnaissance activity before a strike on peer-class protocols (lending/DEX/bridge/perps), sourced from the hack database.
