rubric v1.7.0

First-depositor / share-inflation guard

Rocket Pool's assessment for RD-F-075 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

rETH:ETH exchange rate is the oDAO-reported aggregate Beacon Chain validator balance, not a pool ratio susceptible to donation manipulation. A token donation cannot change the oDAO-reported rate. The staking pool has been continuously non-empty since November 9, 2021 (genesis). The first-depositor inflation attack (inflating shares against a zero-supply vault) is architecturally inapplicable. N/A by taxonomy PD-024 and LST architecture.
