★ Admin = deployer EOA after 7 days
Rocket Pool's assessment for RD-F-043 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
[STAR CRITICAL] Admin = deployer EOA after 7 days: the deployer EOA 0x0ccf14983364a7735d369879603930afe10df21e held the RocketStorage guardian role from 2021-11-09 launch until permanent disablement in the Aug-Oct 2025 period (per dao.rocketpool.net Roadmap Update, Oct 24, 2025: "we permanently disabled the protocol DAO guardian, completing the transition to full decentralised governance"). As of profile date 2026-05-04, no privileged admin role is held by the deployer EOA or any other EOA. The 3-year public process (RPIP-14 2022 -> RPIP-33 2023 -> Houston May 2024 -> Aug-Oct 2025 final disablement) was the formal decentralization path. Earlier HackMD/Prisma/The Block centralization analyses cited as evidence of red were authored before the Oct 2025 disablement.

Determine whether, at t = deploy+7d, the admin address still equals the deployer EOA with no evidence of transfer to a multisig.
