## 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.
