VNXAU mint and freeze authority on Solana differs from the address Ketju had on file

What happened

Ketju's daily check found that the VNXAU authority on Solana had changed from the address on file. A finalized getAccountInfo request for mint 9TPL8droGJ7jThsq4momaoz6uhTcvX2SeMqipoPmNa8R confirmed that the new address holds both authorities.

What changed

9GpoNWNZ8ZLEh8rKKQ358bngFWHmc6nKVcQ9SzCfvRmw now holds the authority to mint and freeze VNXAU. This differs from the address Ketju had recorded before.

What did not change

We found no improvement in reserves and no authorized freeze of a holder. We found no move to a multisig and no change in eligibility. VNXAU remains excluded.

Confirmed

• At finalized slot 455252614, the mint account shows mintAuthority=9GpoNWNZ8ZLEh8rKKQ358bngFWHmc6nKVcQ9SzCfvRmw.
• The same read shows that address as freezeAuthority.
• The standard SPL Token program owns the mint.

Still open

• We have not found the transaction that changed the authority or its date.
• We have not reproduced the earlier authority address at a past slot.
• We do not know who controls the new authority, how it signs or whether the issuer authorized it. Nobody has confirmed that it is a single key.

What it means for an advisor

• Ketju will review who controls VNXAU on Solana and ask the issuer to explain the change and give the transaction.
• Do not treat the new address as meeting the condition, a multisig or a timelock, that Ketju set for reviewing VNXAU again.
