Guardian/pause-keeper distinct from upgrader
Convex Finance's assessment for RD-F-034 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Contracts are immutable so no upgrader role exists. Pause/shutdown functions (shutdownSystem, shutdownPool on Booster; shutdown on CvxLockerV2) are callable by the admin multisig with no separate guardian role. The feeManager is a distinct role from the main owner, providing partial separation. No dedicated guardian address with distinct key from admin found.
