Pause activations (trailing 12 months)
mETH Protocol's assessment for RD-F-086 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
One deliberate pause activation in the trailing 12+ months: cmETH withdrawals paused on Feb 21–22 2025 in response to the Bybit Lazarus Group hack (15,000 cmETH targeted for unauthorized withdrawal). The pause was appropriate, brief, and led to $43M recovery with no user fund loss. No other pause activations found. Deliberate security-motivated pause with rapid resolution is consistent with green.
