Admin key custody type

USDD (Decentralized USD)'s assessment for RD-F-025 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

TRON DAO Reserve (Justin Sun de facto) holds effective admin. No Gnosis Safe. No on-chain Governor. Ethereum ERC-20 (0x4f8e5de400de08b164e7421b3ee387f461becd1a, canonical, source-verified) uses MakerDAO-style wards system. TRON side has historical 5-of-7 TDR-member narrative threshold but not on-chain verifiable. No timelock on any chain. Effective classification: entity-controlled with no enforced on-chain multisig. Yellow because some multi-party structure is claimed (5-of-7) even if unverifiable.
