Admin/upgrade transaction in mempool

Fluid's assessment for RD-F-102 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Fluid Liquidity Layer (0x52Aa899454998Be5b000Ad077a46Bbe360F4e497) is an EIP-1967 upgradeable proxy with admin 0x4F6F977aCDD1177DCD81aB83074855EcB9C2D49e (Instadapp Avocado smart wallet). No on-chain timelock confirmed for Fluid-layer contract upgrades. Last proxy upgrade December 1, 2025. Reserve Contract Proxy (0x264786EF916af64a1DB19F513F24a3681734ce92) also upgradeable (last upgraded December 2025), same deployer. No admin tx in mempool detectable via static assessment. Yellow: absence of a timelock means the mempool signal is the ONLY advance-warning mechanism — there is no multi-day pre-announcement window that timelock-protected protocols provide. T-09 phase-2 signal (mempool listener required for production alerting). This is the most important monitoring gap for Fluid specifically.
