Dependency graph (protocols depended upon)
Kinetiq's assessment for RD-F-050 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Existential non-redundant dependency on Hyperliquid L1 (HyperCore). StakingManager stakes HYPE to HyperCore validators via L1Write precompile (0x3333333333333333333333333333333333333333). If HyperCore halts, staking/unstaking and reward settlement all break with no fallback. No Aave/Uniswap/Curve dependency. LST-class yellow: standard for single-chain LSTs but elevated by Hyperliquid's ~2yr age, Foundation-controlled governance, and no slashing currently (future risk per FAQ). Also depends on Operator contract liveness (see F062).
