★ Public initialize() without initializer modifier
Ethena's assessment for RD-F-022 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
All four core contracts use constructor-based initialization. USDe: constructor(address admin). EthenaMinting V2: constructor(IUSDe _usde, IWETH9 _weth, address[] _assets, ...). StakedUSDeV2: constructor(IERC20 _asset, address initialRewarder, address owner). ENA: constructor-based. No initialize() function on any implementation contract. One-tx exploit vector does not exist.
