Admin key custody type
Rocket Pool's assessment for RD-F-025 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Admin key custody type: post-Oct 2025 (after permanent guardian disablement), Rocket Pool operates as a fully on-chain DAO + timelock system. The pDAO uses RPL-staked voting power with square-root modifier; mandatory 1-week vote delay + 1-week upgrade delay (RPIP-60). Standard protocol parameter changes route exclusively through this on-chain governance path. The Security Council retains pause-only powers; it cannot upgrade or change parameters unilaterally. Effective custodianship classification: DAO+timelock.
