Proposal execution delay < 24h
Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-038 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Total delay for gateway EVM execution: Cosmos voting period (~72 hours = 3 days) + InterchainGovernance 7-day timelock = minimum ~10 days. Well above the 48-hour green threshold. ITS upgrades have 0-day delay (EOA direct call) — but this factor scores the gateway governance path; ITS centralization is captured by F027.
