rubric v1.7.0

External keeper/relayer not redundant

Venus Protocol's assessment for RD-F-062 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Core lending operations (borrow, liquidation, interest accrual) do not rely on external keepers — triggered per-interaction (Compound v2 pattern). The LayerZero default DVN acts as a single-point relayer for XVS bridge messages — not redundant. Bridge is for governance token only, not lending TVL. No Gelato or Chainlink Automation dependency for core protocol functions confirmed.

Methodology #

Determine whether the protocol depends on a single keeper or relayer (Gelato, Chainlink Automation, custom) with no redundancy or failover.
