★ Single admin EOA

BENQI'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 #

Admin is not a single EOA — confirmed multisig governance by multiple sources. Deployer 0x5423819B3b5bb38b0E9E9e59F22f9034e2d8819b deployed Comptroller ~5 years ago; current admin is a team multisig, not the deployer. Not red (multisig confirmed). Not green (threshold and signers undisclosed; effective centralization cannot be ruled out). Undisclosed multisig with unknown composition at $277M TVL warrants yellow.
