Guru Network Classic

Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.

Guru Network Classic is a ten-chain aggregate of assets held across ftm.guru utility, yield and bespoke project contracts, not a single BSC investment product. Its adapter reads USD-denominated totals written into one Universal TVL Finder contract per chain, rather than reconstructing each underlying asset and liability. DefiLlama reported $1.70M on 2026-08-16, primarily Binance, Sonic and MultiVAC, with small approved-chain balances on Arbitrum and others. Rejected-chain was therefore false; the version-1 below-materiality dossier rejects this unresolved aggregate before product-level review.

Kill criteria: the events that revoke this verdict
• TVL sustained above $100M for 30 days
• Separates an exact investable product with reconstructable assets, liabilities, authorities, incidents and a proposed-size withdrawal on an approved chain

The research file

Identity, accounting and class applicability

The official adapter describes Guru Classic as a multi-faceted tool and service suite and reads a `tvl()` number from a TvlGuru contract on each chain. That number is represented as USD value rather than derived by the adapter from named tokens and owners. Because the coverage record mixes contracts and utilities without identifying one investable receipt, no single mechanism class can be defended beyond the materiality screen; below-materiality is narrower and more accurate than treating the whole aggregate as BSC-only.

Corrected chain and product perimeter

The current API attributes value across Echelon, Fantom, Avalanche, MultiVAC, Polygon, Sonic, Metis, Arbitrum, Binance and Kucoin. Binance is the largest component, but nonzero balances on Sonic, MultiVAC, Fantom and Arbitrum disprove the former rejected-chain premise. The record does not establish that all ten components are mutually substitutable or that an advised client can acquire one claim spanning the aggregate.

Control, lifecycle and exit applicability

Guru publishes TvlGuru contracts and raw TVL tooling, but the adapter’s stored USD totals do not expose underlying tokens, pool ownership, privileged roles, liabilities or executable withdrawal depth. A client exit would depend on the exact downstream Guru product and chain, not on the aggregate figure. The absence of adapter-derived holdings is a traceability limitation and means the $1.70M headline cannot be treated as cash available to redeem one position.

Comparison and measurable reopening test

Unlike Yearn or a named ERC-4626 vault, Guru Classic does not present one surveyed receipt with reconstructable assets and exits; unlike a direct chain rejection, part of its perimeter sits on otherwise reviewable chains. Reopen only after the same aggregate remains above $100M for 30 days and the exact proposed product is separated with token, contract, chain, asset, liability, authority, incident and proposed-size withdrawal evidence.

The claims above trace to these. Where a number could not be independently verified, the thesis says so.

Inherited controls

The verdict above grades the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The least safe layer sets the position’s grade, and the position table names which one that is.
