rubric v1.7.0

Single admin EOA

Veda (BoringVault)'s assessment for RD-F-027 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

[U18 RE-CITED] Deployer EOA 0x0463e60c (ether.fi: Deployer 4) controlled RolesAuthority for ~24 months (Jun 2024–May 4 2026). Now transferred to TimelockController (minDelay=0) controlled by a verified 3-of-5 Gnosis Safe (U18 confirmed: threshold=3, owner_count=5). Single-key risk is eliminated by the 3-of-5 threshold. Not red because the 3-of-5 Safe provides genuine multisig protection (requires 3-of-5 signer coordination). Not green because: zero-delay timelock provides no exit-reaction window, and the 24-month historical EOA period is a material historical risk.

Methodology #

Determine whether the effective upgrade/owner/rescue role is held by a single EOA (not a multisig) with no timelock on sensitive operations.
