Uncertainty
Known unknowns
Reviewed gaps remain visible instead of being converted into false certainty.exact_contract_deployment_first_mint_and_initial_distribution
The public Venus mainnet and VAI minting launch is fixed to 2020-11-24. The exact VAI contract-creation timestamp, first mint transaction, and initial distribution sequence are not normalized.
- Severity
- Low
- Last checked
- 2026-06-25
The unresolved deployment and first-mint details do not override the documented public mainnet launch boundary.
current_mint_and_psm_parameters
Current mint ceilings, stability-fee parameters, PSM reserves, and operational limits are governance-controlled and not snapshotted here.
- Severity
- Medium
- Last checked
- 2026-06-15
Requires periodic governance and onchain monitoring.
