Guardian/pause-keeper distinct from upgrader
Frax Finance's assessment for RD-F-034 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No dedicated guardian/pauser role separate from the Comptroller 3-of-5 multisig. The Omega rejection mechanism (veFXS veto) serves as a soft guardian but requires 4% quorum to activate. FraxCompatibilityFallbackHandler is a Safe handler, not a guardian. The same 3-of-5 multisig is both day-to-day executor and upgrade authority.
