Fallback behavior on oracle failure
Wormhole's assessment for RD-F-051 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Fallback behavior on oracle failure | Core Bridge has no price oracle, so oracle failure is not applicable in the traditional sense. For guardian network: if quorum falls below 13/19, VAA production halts. No documented automated fallback — bridge freezes rather than degrading gracefully to a secondary trust source. For NTT: rate limits queue transfers rather than silently dropping them when limits exceeded. | Profile §7; Wormhole docs on VAA model; NTT rate limiting docs (wormhole.com/docs/p...
