Market-listing governance threshold

BENQI's assessment for RD-F-072 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Market listing requires team multisig approval (low-threshold governance) — not permissionless (which would be red) and not a full DAO vote (which would be green). Cache confirms governance.type='unknown' with no on-chain Governor or Snapshot space. Profile §6 confirms team-multisig model with no on-chain Governor; veQI is gauge-weight escrow, not a Governor. This is the standard yellow classification: team-controlled but not DAO-governed. The multisig gate prevents arbitrary listing attacks but does not provide the decentralization assurance of a full governance vote.
