Breakage analysis per dependency
Venus Protocol's assessment for RD-F-052 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Individual oracle failure for major assets (BTC, ETH) is absorbed by 3-tier fallback. Full oracle freeze requires all three tiers to fail simultaneously. Demonstrated breakage: (a) LUNA 2022 — Chainlink paused feed, stale price exploited for $11M bad debt before maxStalePeriod triggered revert; (b) THE 2026 — multi-source convergence after 37-min sustained manipulation, $3.7M loss. Thin-liquidity collateral oracles remain the primary residual breakage vector.
