Developing. Some claims here are not yet confirmed, and they are listed apart from the confirmed facts. Ketju publishes a new version when the primary evidence changes.

## What happened

Sidestream described operator authority for Spark's planned Base deployment on October 28 in Sky's official forum.

## What changed

Spark plans to let cBEAM adjust rate limits and remove its CCTP integration during emergencies, subject to specified permissions.

## What did not change

Sidestream states that the timelock will initially remain paused. Sky governance would retain responsibility for the most security-critical actions.

## Confirmed

- Sidestream identifies November 5, 2026, as Spark's target activation date.
- Sidestream describes a parallel deployment that shares the existing ALMProxy with the older controller.
- Sidestream states that Spark must authorize the Configurator before it becomes functional.
- Sidestream identifies Spark's Executor as the Beacon administrator pending a planned transfer to Sky's governance relay.

## Still open

- The notice does not establish completed activation or the planned administrator transfer.
- Sidestream requests confirmation of risk parameters, operator addresses, and deployment values from the responsible teams.
- Ketju has not established the final permissions after Spark executes its planned changes.

## What it means for an advisor

- Ketju should review the Sky memo's description of delegated rate changes and emergency actions before the Base deployment becomes functional.
- Ketju should verify that Spark transfers Beacon authority to Sky's governance relay and authorizes only the intended Configurator.
