Multisig roles were split into a financial-treasury and technical. Both multisigs were created prior to the deployment ceremony by previous initial core members, as contracts needed to know the wallet addresses. Then, multisig members and a signer count requirement were added after DAO voting procedures. All this can be verified on-chain and Etherscan in logs of respective contracts.

Multisig must execute whatever proposal reaches winning quorum. Given that multisig are members previously enacted by token holders, meaning the DAO, and are semi-public people with big reputation - in extreme cases they could voice against implementing some proposal. However, that could breach trust in the governance model and require immediate action and restructuring. This must be exercised carefully.

Technical Guard | 6/12

Executes proposals which have reached quorum related to technical changes and the protocol.

Veto / Unpause role | 4/12

A multisig with the same set of singers as the Technical Guard, but a lower 4/12 for faster response.

The veto role is related to the ability to circumvent malicious proposals and transactions, it can only say "no" basically, but can't propose or push anything. The unpause role relates to unpausing.

Executes proposals which have reached quorum related to spending, grants, and the treasury overall.

Spending and grants paid out can be seen in monthly DAO reports:

Fee Temporary Guard 5/10

Transactions related to technical changes and protocol improvements are behind a 2-day timelock, and you can transparently observe every stage and queue in the :

Ethereum Address:

The pause function was granted to 1/1. They can only pause the protocol, in case their monitoring tools detect issues, in an attempt to stop the protocol from being fully exploited. In case that is possible and the time onchain gives that window.

Ethereum Address:

A temporary multisig with the same set of singers as the Treasury Guard. It is created to separate funds from the which are used for the development of the protocol. This Fee Guard collects all and can later on give control over to an initiative which will focus on staking programs, or whatever else the DAO decides to do. It's a holder of fees for now.
