rubric v1.7.0

External keeper/relayer not redundant

Sushi (SushiSwap) — v2 + v3 + Trident + BentoBox/Kashi + SushiXSwap's assessment for RD-F-062 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

SushiXSwap cross-chain routing relies on Stargate's executor infrastructure (LayerZero v2 executor network) to relay cross-chain messages. Sushi does not operate its own executor or relayer. If Stargate's executor fails or is paused, cross-chain SushiXSwap transactions may not complete and funds in transit may be temporarily frozen. A second adapter (Squid/Axelar) provides some routing diversity but not at the execution layer level. AMM core has no keeper dependency.

Methodology #

Determine whether the protocol depends on a single keeper or relayer (Gelato, Chainlink Automation, custom) with no redundancy or failover.
