Guardian/pause-keeper distinct from upgrader
Curve Finance's assessment for RD-F-034 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Emergency DAO (5-of-9, guardian/pauser role) is entirely separate from the Ownership Agent (protocol upgrade/governance executor). The eDAO cannot execute upgrades; the Ownership DAO cannot directly kill pools without a vote. Role separation is structurally enforced by Aragon's two-DAO architecture.
