rubric v1.7.0

First-depositor / share-inflation guard

ether.fi's assessment for RD-F-075 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Not applicable in the strict first-depositor/ERC-4626 sense — the LiquidityPool is not an empty vault susceptible to first-deposit inflation at $5.13B TVL. The structurally analogous share-inflation risk (donation attack on eETH share accounting) was explicitly audited by Certora in January 2025 with formal verification coverage. Per taxonomy PD-024, this factor is lending-only. The eETH share inflation audit evidence is noted as positive.
