Upgrade frequency (per 90 days)
Venus Protocol's assessment for RD-F-137 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Extremely high upgrade frequency — 12+ audit engagements in 2025 alone (unified comptroller, block rate, Solidity 8 upgrade, e-mode, flash loan). Diamond Comptroller facets replaced via VIPs. Estimated 5-15 VIPs per 90d affecting bytecode. High frequency is not inherently bad but creates ongoing code-drift surface.
