★ Sudden admin-rescue/ACL change without discussion
Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-123 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
All ACL changes routed through AIP process: Snapshot TEMP CHECK → governance forum ARFC → on-chain vote → Executor timelock (1-day Lvl1 or 7-day Lvl2). aave-dao/aave-proposals-reports provides public record of every payload. April 2026 Guardian freeze (emergency action) was publicly documented in governance forum incident thread within hours. No non-routine ACL change in past 180 days lacks corresponding governance discussion.
