Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
Sky Lending (formerly MakerDAO)'s assessment for RD-F-163 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
CDP/lending class protocols have average reconnaissance time of 14-30 days based on in-house hack DB analysis of the CDP class. Yellow threshold is 7-29 days. Sky's 2020 incidents were opportunistic/governance-mechanics (no 78-day USPD-class pre-strike documented for Sky specifically). At $5.5B TVL, Sky is tier-1 target; the meaningful recon window warrants yellow to prompt monitoring attention.
