Deprecated contract paused but pause reversible by live admin

mETH Protocol's assessment for RD-F-167 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

No deprecated mETH Protocol contracts identified holding material value (>$100K). Prior Staking implementation addresses (0x8B6c86D2... and 0xdecaCC56...) are retired implementation logic — they held no user funds themselves (proxy holds funds). No deprecated router or peripheral contract holding user assets found.
