Quorum achievable via single-entity flash loan
Sushi (SushiSwap) — v2 + v3 + Trident + BentoBox/Kashi + SushiXSwap's assessment for RD-F-037 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Quorum is 5 million SUSHIPOWAH. Snapshot-block checkpoint prevents flash-loan-based quorum achievement. However, the 2024 treasury vote controversy documented the Ops Multisig wallet voting 5.5M SUSHIPOWAH (~30% of passing votes at 29M total), plus alleged borrowed liquidity to inflate voting power prior to snapshot. This represents governance concentration risk (one entity near-quorum) not classic flash-loan risk.
