Role separation: upgrade ≠ fee ≠ oracle

Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-035 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Role separation confirmed on gateway: upgrade role = InterchainGovernance (validator quorum); mintLimiter = Custom Multisig 0xCC94...EC68; GasService collector = Operators 0x7DdB... (owner 0x6f24...). ITS: most roles collapse into single EOA 0x6f24... (upgrade, pause, trusted-chain), but GasService and Operators are separate contracts from the custom Multisig. Overall role distribution across contracts is separated even if ITS intracontract roles are concentrated.
