Evidence summary #

DAO Multisig 6-of-11 is adequate for $115M TVL. However, Emergency subDAO threshold was reduced from 4-of-7 to 3-of-7 per BIP-883, below peer norm for emergency bodies at this TVL. BIP-907 (Jan 2026) proposed replacing 4 of 11 signers; Snapshot vote February 2026, passage not confirmed. 11 signers are documented external delegates from distinct organizations.

Methodology #

Determine whether the multisig threshold is abnormally low relative to TVL peer cohort (e.g., 2-of-3 for a protocol with >$100M TVL where peer norm is 5-of-8).
