Final Supply and Residual Market State

Final burned supply, residual circulating tokens, and later market state remain unresolved.

High · last checked 2026-06-29

Wind-down does not prove every token was redeemed or destroyed.

Protection Program Terminal Date and Settlement

The final close date, total claims, payout completion, and residual obligations of the Protection Programme are incomplete.

High · last checked 2026-06-29

Do not infer full settlement from programme launch.

Undercollateralization and Final Reserve Reconciliation

The full chronology and final reconciliation of the reserve shortfall remain incomplete.

High · last checked 2026-06-29

Official sources establish the response, not every accounting detail.

Aurora Representation and Liquidity End State

The complete Aurora representation, bridge, contract, and liquidity end state remains unresolved.

Medium · last checked 2026-06-29

NEAR-native and Aurora representations must remain distinct.

V1 V2 Contract and Authority History

The complete v1 and v2 contract inventory, upgrade continuity, reserve controls, and shutdown state remain incomplete.

Medium · last checked 2026-06-29

The core usn account is recorded; later boundaries need source review.
