Uncertainty

Known unknowns

Reviewed gaps remain visible instead of being converted into false certainty.

exact_terminal_date

The original BAC launch is fixed to 2020-11-30 and V2 activation to 2021-04-26, but no definitive shutdown, final mint stop, governance termination, or contract end date is established.

BAC remains classified failed without inventing an end date. Continuing ERC-20 transferability is separate from protocol relevance.

bab_bas_terminal_and_contract_history

Complete contract and terminal histories for BAB and BAS are outside this canonical stablecoin record.

Severity
Medium
Last checked

BAB, BAS V1, BAS V2, boardroom, treasury, vault, oracle, and liquidity-migration contracts require a separate lineage normalization pass.
