Seed-deposit requirement for new market listing

Orca's assessment for RD-F-071 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Seed-deposit requirement for new-market listing is a lending-protocol concept (preventing borrow-before-supply attacks). Orca Whirlpools pool creation requires a funded wallet for Solana account rent (SOL), but this is a Solana runtime cost, not a borrow-enable seed deposit. No borrow-enable lifecycle exists. Not applicable per PD-024.
