★ Flash-loanable voting weight

Rocket Pool's assessment for RD-F-036 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

pDAO voting power is anchored to staked RPL at a specific past block via merkle tree snapshot. RocketDAOProtocolVerifier uses block-level checkpointing. Vote weight = staked RPL at proposal creation block, not current liquid balanceOf. Staking RPL itself requires multi-block commitment. Flash loans cannot manipulate checkpoint-time balances.

Methodology #

Determine whether governance voting power is a function of current token balance of a transferable token with no lock or checkpoint, making it flash-loan susceptible.
