Incident response time (minutes)
Venus Protocol's assessment for RD-F-085 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Most recent incident (2026-03-15 THE exploit): William Li publicly posted attacker address in real time; Venus issued first official statement approximately 2 hours after Li's alert. THE borrows paused approximately 3 hours after Li's alert. The 2-hour window for first statement falls in the 61-240 minute yellow band (>60 min threshold for green, <240 min threshold for red). Score: yellow. Note: this is the second-fastest response in Venus's history; the September 2025 phishing incident had a faster 13-hour full recovery, but first statement timing was not precisely confirmed.
