## What happened

Spark governance received a proposal to replace the Spark Assets Foundation signer with an additional Phoenix Labs signer and increase the Liquidity Layer Freezer Multisig threshold from 1-of-4 to 2-of-4.

## What changed

A concrete control-change proposal entered governance review, supplying new evidence about the freezer role's signer composition and intended approval threshold.

## What did not change

The record does not prove that the multisig configuration changed, identify an execution transaction, disclose the multisig address, or resolve the rejected memo's broader per-chain administrator and relayer-control gaps.

## Confirmed

- The proposal identifies the prior freezer configuration as one Spark Assets Foundation signer, two Phoenix Labs signers, VoteWizard, and a 1-of-4 threshold.
- The freezer can deauthorize addresses holding the Relayer Role.
- The proposal would replace the Spark Assets Foundation signer with another Phoenix Labs signer.
- The proposed threshold is 2-of-4.

## Still open

- The vote outcome and any implementation transaction are not established.
- The operative multisig address, signer addresses, and chain-by-chain scope remain undisclosed in this record.
- It is not established whether every Liquidity Layer deployment uses this freezer or has separate local emergency authority.

## What it means for an advisor

- Review the Spark Liquidity Layer memo because the proposal partially addresses its documented freezer-control disclosure gap.
- Verify the live multisig address, owners, threshold, and per-chain authority before crediting the proposed configuration.
- Do not reopen or approve the rejected object solely because governance proposed a safer threshold.
