Breakage analysis per dependency
Babylon Protocol's assessment for RD-F-052 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Breakage analysis per dependency completed: Bitcoin mainnet failure — all TVL irrecoverable (practically impossible); vigilante halt — BTC light client stalls, stake registrations blocked, permissionless mitigation (any operator can resume); covenant quorum failure — unbonding freezes, protocol upgrade path via governance; IBC relay failure — BSN finality signals stop, affects BSN security not BTC staker funds; covenant compromise (below quorum) — cannot steal BTC, script paths enforce valid spending only.
