Signer rotation recency
Rocket Pool's assessment for RD-F-031 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Signer rotation recency: the deployer EOA was the RocketStorage guardian from launch (2021-11-09) until permanent disablement in the Aug-Oct 2025 period. Permanent disablement of an admin role is the strongest possible rotation event — the role no longer exists rather than being held by a different signer. The 3-year public process (RPIP-14 -> RPIP-33 -> Houston -> Aug-Oct 2025 disablement) is the rotation event. No formal multisig now holds the role, so further rotation is unnecessary.

Methodology #
Measure the number of months since the most recent signer-set change (add/remove signer) on the admin multisig; flag if threshold was reduced within 14 days of a timelock removal or new-signer addition.
