Audit-to-deploy gap
Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-006 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
For the legacy Ethereum AxelarGateway (deployed ~Feb 2022), Ackee Feb 2022 audit (commit c6f8c7c) predates or coincides with deploy within reasonable window. For newer contracts (ITS), recent 2024-2025 audits cover current implementations. Exact audit-sign-off-to-deploy day counts not computed for all engagements due to the volume of reports. Evidence insufficient to confirm all major deploys meet the 60-day green threshold; downgrade to yellow.
