## Research summary

ADVERSE RESEARCH ASSESSMENT. Lista Lending is a permissionless, isolated-market lending system with first- and third-party vaults. Current official contract records confirm deployments on both BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum, correcting the earlier uncertainty over whether Ethereum was merely planned. That does not establish an approvable exposure. Lista's own overview centers the product on BNB Chain, which this mandate rejects at the chain layer, while the Ethereum inventory shows only a narrow set of contracts and a USD1 vault. No named Ethereum vault has yet been supplied with the curator, collateral, oracle, LLTV, caps, liquidity, bad-debt record and exit evidence needed for approval. Permissionless deployment is not a protocol-wide credit conclusion; every vault is a separate portfolio.

## Observable review triggers

- No named production vault on an approved chain with a complete curator and market inventory
- Any allocation or exit path depends on BNB Smart Chain
- Any unsupported collateral, stale oracle, unreconciled bad debt or failed liquidation
- Proposed-size withdrawal or collateral sale exceeds the written cost or time limit
- Any manager, admin, timelock or curator authority not reconciled to live contracts and current audits
