Deprecated contracts still holding value
Pendle Finance's assessment for RD-F-166 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
vePENDLE contract (0x4f30A9D41B80ecC5B94306AB4364951AE3170210) is in partially-deprecated state: new locks paused 2026-01-29, governance role transferred to sPENDLE. Existing 2-year lock positions remain until natural expiry — this is the protocol's stated design, not an operational lapse. Profile §6 notes Governance Safe holds ~22M PENDLE (~$30M); residual locked PENDLE in vePENDLE almost certainly exceeds $100K. Yellow (not red) because: (a) migration was publicly announced and communicated; (b) residual value represents user-locked PENDLE with clear expiry path, not stranded dust; (c) no emergency or involuntary lock situation. On-chain balance verification not performed — yellow reflects incomplete verification.
