Breakage analysis per dependency
Liquid Collective (LsETH)'s assessment for RD-F-052 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Breakage analysis: (1) Oracle Operator quorum failure — River conversion rate freezes; deposits/withdrawals proceed at stale rate; if extended outage coincides with validator slashing, rate becomes inaccurate; no automated mitigation; admin must intervene. Severity HIGH. (2) Beacon chain failure — oracle cannot report; rate freezes; systemic shared risk for all ETH LSTs. Severity CATASTROPHIC but ecosystem-shared. (3) Ethereum Deposit Contract unavailable — new staking halts; existing holders unaffected. Severity LOW. (4) Proxy Admin Safe compromise — all proxies upgradeable; potential full drain. Severity CRITICAL — addressed by governance-admin-analyst.
