Seed-deposit requirement for new market listing
Yearn Finance's assessment for RD-F-071 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Yearn does not list lending markets. New vault deployments via VaultFactory.vy do not require a seed deposit -- the factory's deploy_new_vault() function accepts only (asset, name, symbol, role_manager, profit_max_unlock_time) with no initial deposit parameter. This is a vault deployment, not a lending market listing. Per PD-024, RD-F-071 is lending-only (seed-deposit requirement for new-market listing) and not applicable.
