Avg attacker reconnaissance time for peer-class protocols
QuickSwap'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 #
Class-level reconnaissance-time statistic for AMM DEX protocols. USPD 78-day recon pattern applies broadly. QuickSwap-specific: May 2022 DNS hijack involved social engineering of registrar (not on-chain wallet recon). On-chain recon timelines for AMM DEX exploits vary by attack type: flash-loan arb (minutes to hours), supply-chain compromise (weeks to months). Specific peer-class DEX recon-time data requires hack DB curator synthesis — cannot be meaningfully derived from static OSINT alone.

Methodology #
Report the average number of days of attacker reconnaissance activity before a strike on peer-class protocols (lending/DEX/bridge/perps), sourced from the hack database.
