Seed-deposit requirement for new market listing
Sky Lending (formerly MakerDAO)'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 #
Sky Lending does not use Compound-style market listing. New collateral types (ilks) are added via DAO executive vote. No seed-deposit requirement concept applies to CDP ilk additions.
Detail #
The Vat architecture adds collateral types as ilks via governance executive spells, not as deployable liquidity markets requiring seed deposits. There is no cToken-market-listing flow where a seed deposit protects against empty-market exploitation. CDP ilk additions require governance approval (full DAO vote + 48hr GSM delay) which is a separate and more robust protection than a seed deposit requirement.
