## What happened

Grove Labs proposed revoking the CCTP v1 receiver's authority to queue governance actions on Grove's Avalanche Executor in the October 22 spell.

## What changed

If completed, the CCTP v2 receiver would become the sole authorized governance-message receiver. The same proposal includes an 800,000 USDS Grove Foundation operating grant.

## What did not change

The proposal does not establish an executed revocation. The v1 receiver retains its role until the cross-chain message arrives and the Avalanche actions set executes.

## Confirmed

- The proposed revocation targets receiver 0x26e9512547feC1906C55256e491DfB6673D8C23f on Executor 0x4b803781828b76EaBF21AaF02e5ce23596b4d60c.
- The intended remaining receiver is the CCTP v2 receiver at 0x8Ea8Dff8c29f568eA1E716E2C3AfbD003EB83cfA.
- The proposed process sends the message from Ethereum and executes a separate actions set on Avalanche.
- The scope identifies the revocation message as Grove's first use of the v2 relay.
- The operating grant requires a separate Atlas authorization through governance.

## Still open

- Governance approval, final payload, Ethereum execution, and Avalanche delivery and execution are not established.
- The scope's reported existing role state and historical relay use were not independently reproduced.
- Successful v2 delivery and the final role checks remain prospective.

## What it means for an advisor

- Track both execution stages in the Sky allocator authority record; Ethereum execution alone would not complete this control change.
- After Avalanche execution, verify the v1 role is absent and the v2 role remains present before updating the dependency assessment.
- Review governance-delivery continuity when the fallback relay is removed.
