Coordinate approvals and enforce authorization for protocol upgrades, cross-chain configuration changes, and critical permissions.
Start with changes that affect who can act, what can run, or which messages are trusted.

Give changes to administrators, roles and authorization rules an explicit approval path.
Map the authority pathAgree on the details before authority changes hands.
Bind the target, parameters and validity window to one reviewable request.
Review the requestBring separate approvals to the same operation.
Business approval and threshold authorization are distinct steps, each tied to the request.
Follow the authorizationFollow what was authorized through to its observed result.
Keep the proposal, approvals, authorization and execution evidence available for review.
Inspect the resultKeep the approval roles you need. Make the protected execution path explicit.
Wallets and approvers keep their defined roles. Signing formats and execution routes need an adapter; Safe, AA and custody integrations require their own validation.
Give the protected upgrade or admin entry to the Gate or reviewed adapter. Inspect owner, delegate, role admin, modules and emergency routes before activation.
In V3, Gate code and governance membership are fixed at deployment. Network recovery needs customer and recovery quorums plus a delay. Business-policy changes require coordinated review and configuration updates.
Only closing every alternate route makes the protected path mandatory. Retained owners, delegates, modules or emergency permissions can still bypass it; the permission migration must be tested.
Business approval, authorization and evidence should have separate owners. Independence comes from different operators, key custody and failure domains.
Target network architectureIndependent verificationEach operator checks the request and its approval evidence.
Separate observationObservers hold no approval rights or signing shares.
Bring a past upgrade or configuration change. Together, we’ll map its authority path, reproduce the expected operation and a parameter substitution, and inspect the execution evidence.
