★ Admin = deployer EOA after 7 days

Orca's assessment for RD-F-043 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Current upgrade authority is Squads v4 multisig PDA, not the deployer EOA. Whirlpools launched March 2022; governance and multisig structure was established from early operations. Squads v4 verified as current controller. No deployer-as-sole-admin pattern at any point in accessible history.

Methodology #

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