ExecutedConfirmed evidence

Affects: Axelar (protocol)

What happened

Axelar governance passed proposal 487, executing administrator updates on three Amplifier contracts.

What changed

The permission-control administrator for the Interchain Token Service, Router, and Multisig moved from axelar1nctnr9x0qexemeld5w7w752rmqdsqqv92dw9am to axelar1kctshqfxw74usjme9mqlvkf0rgdh96ty0mmm6p.

What did not change

The record does not identify the new controller's signer set, threshold, or internal governance policy, and it reports no asset loss or route interruption.

Confirmed

  • Proposal 487 passed at the June 30 voting deadline.
  • The payload contains three MsgExecuteContract update_admin calls.
  • All three calls set the same new administrator address.

Still open

  • The identity, signer composition, threshold, and emergency powers of the new administrator remain unresolved from this record.

What it means for an advisor

  • Update the Axelar control map for all three Amplifier contracts.
  • Verify the new controller's composition, threshold, rotation process, and ability to migrate or pause contracts.
  • Reassess whether the new controller changes the dependency's concentration or emergency-governance assumptions.
