★ Admin = deployer EOA after 7 days
BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL)'s assessment for RD-F-043 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
[PD-042 rescore 2026-05-12, v1.7.0+] Single-administrator / no-multisig design is intentional architecture for a regulator-controlled tokenized issuer (the regulator is the counterparty-discipline mechanism). However, the residual operational risk of a single deployer-key compromise concentrating large fund-token authority is real, and the factor is downgraded to yellow rather than not_applicable to keep that signal visible. Per PD-042 (Cat 2 RWA-issuer subset, residual-risk treatment). ORIGINAL EVIDENCE (preserved from v1.6.0 grading): Securitize Deployer EOA (0xd69fefe5) created BUIDL proxy 2024-03-01. 25+ months later admin chain still traces back to this EOA. No setOwner events detected. Only 1 internal tx (creation). Admin = deployer EOA without independent multisig transfer.

Methodology #
Determine whether, at t = deploy+7d, the admin address still equals the deployer EOA with no evidence of transfer to a multisig.
