Latest version

v1.9Mar 23, 2026

Second lower-cap issuer review tranche

A second lower-cap review tranche upgrades more issuer-backed routes from heuristic supply-full modeling to reviewed documented-bound redemption capacity, with targeted fee and settlement corrections.

Impact snapshot

  • USDH, FIDD, AEUR, USDX, USDM, SBC, EURR, USDR, WUSD, and AUDD now carry reviewed documented-bound eventual redemption capacity instead of generic heuristic supply-full modeling
  • USDM and AEUR now disclose reviewed non-instant settlement expectations from issuer materials, while USDH now carries an explicit fee-free reviewed route and SBC now uses reviewed pricing language instead of an undocumented fee assumption
  • These routes remain eventual-only issuer exits without a separately measured immediate redeemable buffer, but they now qualify as medium-confidence redemption evidence instead of low-confidence heuristics

    Expanded reviewed lower-cap issuer redemption coverage

    A lower-cap review tranche now upgrades multiple issuer-backed and tokenized-cash routes from heuristic supply-full modeling to reviewed documented-bound redemption capacity.

    • CASH, MNEE, USDP, GUSD, XUSD, XSGD, USDQ, EURQ, EURe, EURI, TBILL, EURCV, and USDCV now carry reviewed documented-bound eventual redemption capacity instead of generic heuristic supply-full modeling
    • TBILL, EURI, EURCV, and USDCV now also disclose reviewed non-instant settlement constraints from issuer documentation
    • These routes remain eventual-only and do not claim a separately measured immediate redeemable buffer, but they can now resolve medium confidence instead of low

      Sky LitePSM routes now use live PSM capacity

      Sky DAI/USDS routes now score against fresh live PSM USDC capacity from reserve telemetry, and infiniFi IUSD now carries a fixed zero-fee redemption model.

      • DAI and USDS use current Sky PSM USDC balance as dynamic immediate redemption capacity when fresh live reserve metadata is available
      • When Sky live metadata is unavailable or stale, those routes fall back to the prior reviewed 33% heuristic instead of becoming unrated
      • IUSD now uses a fixed zero-fee redemption model, allowing its existing dynamic-capacity queue route to resolve high confidence

        Reviewed full-supply redemption routes can now be documented-bound

        Reviewed issuer and direct-redeem routes can now use documented-bound eventual-only capacity when official terms establish full-supply redeemability without a separately measured immediate buffer.

        • Multiple issuer and direct-redeem routes now resolve capacity confidence as documented-bound instead of heuristic after source review
        • These routes stay eventual-only and do not claim a separately measured immediate redeemable buffer
        • Dynamic immediate-capacity telemetry is still required for high-confidence uplift on routes where current buffer size matters operationally

          Fresh live-metadata gating and clearer route provenance

          Reserve-backed redemption routes now stop scoring against stale live metadata, the API methodology envelope tracks stored snapshot rows, and detail surfaces disclose clearer source provenance.

          • Reserve-sync capacity now requires a fresh authoritative live snapshot; stale metadata falls back conservatively or leaves the route unrated
          • GHO normalizes current tracked GSM buy fees into redemption fee telemetry, while the API methodology version now reflects the latest stored row version instead of the live code constant
          • Detail pages now show reviewed-vs-fallback source provenance, and Honey is modeled as a basket exit under stress-state redemption semantics

            Live Liquity fee telemetry for formula routes

            Formula-based Liquity redemption routes can now consume current on-chain fee telemetry from live reserve sync instead of relying only on the generic reviewed-formula bucket.

            • LUSD and BOLD live reserve adapters now record current redemption fee bps from official protocol contracts
            • Redemption backstop cost scoring uses live fee bps when that telemetry is available, while keeping the route labeled as a formula model
            • If live fee telemetry is missing, these routes fall back to the prior reviewed-formula scoring bucket

              Documented-bound full-system redemption for Liquity routes

              Immutable Liquity-style routes can now be marked documented-bound when protocol mechanics establish full-system redeemability, while still preserving eventual-only capacity semantics.

              • LUSD and BOLD now resolve capacity confidence as documented-bound instead of heuristic
              • These routes stay eventual-only and do not claim a separately measured immediate redeemable buffer
              • Reviewed Liquity-style fee formulas remain dynamic formula inputs rather than fixed bps placeholders

                Failure-safe snapshots and evidence-aware capacity semantics

                Redemption backstop snapshots now materialize failed rows safely, separate eventual redeemability from immediate capacity, and reuse more live reserve metadata.

                • Failed per-coin syncs now write fresh failed rows instead of leaving stale resolved rows live
                • `supply-full` routes no longer expose full current supply as immediate capacity on the detail surface
                • OpenEden USDO, GHO, and wsrUSD now reuse live reserve metadata for immediate redeemable capacity; infiniFi ratio now uses supply as the denominator

                  Fee-source coverage expansion

                  Expanded redemption-fee coverage with docs-backed fixed fees, conditional fee descriptions, and clearer handling of issuer routes without a single public fee schedule.

                  • Redemption backstop entries now expose a fee description alongside bounded fee bps when available
                  • Multiple assets now carry docs-backed fixed fee inputs instead of generic unknown-fee handling
                  • Routes without a single public numeric fee now surface explicit variable or undisclosed fee descriptions instead of false precision

                    Initial redemption backstop scoring

                    First operational release of the redemption backstop scoring framework with effective-exit assessment.

                    • Introduced per-stablecoin redemption route configs with access, settlement, execution, and output-asset scoring
                    • Effective-exit score combined capacity utilization with weighted route-family scores
                    • Report card safety dimension now includes redemption backstop component
