Evidence summary #
No exploits occurred; no post-exploit response score required. The 2024 responsible disclosure demonstrates positive process: team classified the bug as Critical, resolved via governance proposal 256 over ~5 months, paid $50,000 USDC bounty. The response was coordinated and transparent in outcome, though slow in timeline (acceptable given governance-required fix).
