Evidence summary #
Sybil surge of identical-pattern transactions | Applicable: Limited — DEX/AMM not lending protocol with permissionless pool creation | No sybil surge pattern on Balancer v2 or v3 contracts detected. v3 hooks architecture allows per-pool custom logic but does not create a permissionless-pool-oracle attack surface analogous to Rhea Finance class. No unusual surge of identical transactions from new EOAs detected in assessment window. | Threshold: Multiple new EOAs submitting identical transaction patterns within short window | Would fire: No
