Seed-deposit requirement for new market listing
Save (formerly Solend)'s assessment for RD-F-071 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No explicit minimum seed deposit enforced in spl-token-lending codebase per reserve.rs inspection ('No explicit minimum deposit enforced in this code section'). Zero-supply protection is provided by INITIAL_COLLATERAL_RATE constant, not a mandatory seed deposit. New isolated pool listings are governance/admin-controlled (not permissionless), partially mitigating risk. Absence of a hard seed-deposit floor is a mild residual risk.
