Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
GMX v2 (GMX Synthetics)'s assessment for RD-F-163 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Peer perps DEX reconnaissance timing: Sept 2022 AVAX manipulation (v1, opportunistic, minimal pre-strike period); July 2025 v1 exploit (2-day timeline from Tornado Cash funding to exploit — compressed); Hyperliquid DPRK Dec 2024 (extended multi-month trading reconnaissance). No specific GMX v2-targeted reconnaissance activity documented in public sources. Class estimate for perps DEX: 2 days to 78 days range. Gray — metric indicator, no anomaly to report.
