Timelock duration on upgrades
Venus Protocol's assessment for RD-F-032 — scored red on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Three-tier timelock: Critical VIP = 1 hour (3600s, confirmed from constructor args on BscScan), FastTrack VIP = 6 hours (21600s), Normal VIP = 2 days (172800s). At $1.26B TVL, the 1-hour Critical VIP timelock is materially inadequate. Factor threshold: green >=48h, yellow 24-47h, red <24h. Critical tier (1h) is deep in red territory.
