Code complexity vs audit coverage

mETH Protocol's assessment for RD-F-024 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

16 engagements across 7 firms provide adequate code coverage. MixBytes v1 audit: 9 contracts over 48 days — adequate LOC/audit-day ratio for the ~1,500-2,000 LOC staking suite. v3 LiquidityBuffer: 4 concurrent firms (Exvul, Blocksec, Hexens, MixBytes) reviewed within Oct-Nov 2025. Multi-firm concurrent review compensates for individual firm's narrow time window.
