★ Low-threshold multisig vs TVL

Curve Finance's assessment for RD-F-028 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Emergency DAO is 5-of-9 at $1.72B TVL — exactly at peer norm boundary for >$1B TVL protocols. eDAO powers are explicitly limited to killing pools/gauges (not fund drain), which partially mitigates the threshold-relative-to-TVL concern. Full DAO upgrade governance requires veCRV supermajority.

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).
