Is Bucket Protocol V2 Safe?

|CDP
B-

Risk Grade: B- (34/100)

Bucket Protocol V2 is rated as moderate risk — some novel mechanisms, generally well-understood.

Moderate risk — well-designed CDP protocol with multiple peg stability mechanisms, but oracle dependency and Sui immaturity create meaningful risk during market stress.

Bucket Protocol V2 is the first CDP protocol on Sui, allowing users to deposit SUI, BTC, or ETH as collateral to borrow BUCK stablecoin at zero interest. With $12M TVL, it features a stability pool (Tank), peg stability module (PSM), and savings pool. It uses Liquity-inspired mechanics adapted for Sui.

Key Risks for Bucket Protocol V2 Users

1.

If SUI price drops sharply, your collateral could be liquidated

2.

BUCK depends on multiple stability mechanisms that could fail during extreme conditions

3.

Sui ecosystem is young, limiting where you can use BUCK

Top Risk Factors

  • BUCK peg stability depends on multiple modules (PSM, CDP, Tank, redeem) — failure of any could break the peg
  • Oracle dependency for SUI, BTC, ETH creates liquidation risk during rapid price drops
  • Zero-interest borrowing may create adverse selection and bad debt accumulation
  • Sui ecosystem still young with limited DeFi composability for BUCK
