Admin/upgrade transaction in mempool
Pendle Finance'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 #
Admin/upgrade tx in mempool signal (v1 phase-2). Threshold: pending tx to protocol admin contract with upgrade/admin selector, sender in admin key set, no matching governance proposal in preceding 48h. Applicable and architecturally live: Dev Multisig (0xE6F0489...) has upgrade authority via Proxy Admin (0xA28c08f...) with NO timelock. Last upgrades were March 2024 (4 operations in 2 weeks per Etherscan). No timelock means any future upgrade appears in mempool without governance pre-announcement — the signal would provide near-zero lead time. No current pending tx detectable statically. Yellow because the no-timelock condition makes this signal's live-detection critical for Pendle.
