★ Sudden admin-rescue/ACL change without discussion
Raydium's assessment for RD-F-123 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
[★ CRITICAL — GREEN] December 2022 admin migration (single EOA to Squads 3/4 multisig) was publicly communicated: (a) Twitter announcement on December 16, 2022 within hours of the exploit; (b) detailed Medium post-mortem explaining the migration rationale and implementation; (c) governance forum compensation proposal (thread #15 on raydium.discourse.group) which included discussion of the new security posture. While executed reactively under emergency conditions (appropriate for an active exploit), public discussion requirement for F123 is satisfied by post-incident disclosure within 24-48 hours. No subsequent undisclosed ACL change identified.
