★ Admin = deployer EOA after 7 days
USDD (Decentralized USD)'s assessment for RD-F-043 — scored red on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
[STAR CRITICAL] Canonical Ethereum ERC-20 deployer 0x9c1a61a0740128f0a9f948b08995cdf3df58f1ee (labeled USDD: Deployer 1 on Etherscan) on 0x4f8e5de400de08b164e7421b3ee387f461becd1a. No evidence of multisig transfer within 7 days found. wards system means deployer initially holds all mint authority. TRON deployer unknown (Tronscan 403). Aug-2024 unilateral reserve action is contract-independent evidence of admin remaining centralized with original entity. Red is grounded in the verified canonical contract, not the 84-holder secondary address.
