Low-threshold multisig vs TVL

Sushi (SushiSwap) — v2 + v3 + Trident + BentoBox/Kashi + SushiXSwap's assessment for RD-F-028 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Ops Multisig is 3-of-5 for $111.86M TVL protocol. Peer norm for >$100M TVL protocols is 4-of-7 or higher. Signer identities not publicly attested. Treasury is 4-of-6 (acceptable). The 2024 governance controversy showed the Ops Multisig wallet controls 5.5M SUSHIPOWAH (largest voting block). Below-peer-norm threshold for the main ops wallet creates elevated compromise risk.
