★ Flash-loanable voting weight
Stake DAO'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 #
vlSDT uses checkpoint-based balance tracking (balanceOfAt, totalSupplyAt) — same-block flash-loan attacks are structurally impossible. SDGP-66 explicitly invalidates temporary voting power including flash loans. 8-week exit queue with penalty for immediate unstaking further reduces attack surface. Green-by-construction for vote-lock architecture.

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.
