# Governance & Access

Monitor administrative actions, access control changes, and multisig operations.

## Multisig & Safe Monitoring <a href="#multisig-threshold" id="multisig-threshold"></a>

Comprehensive Gnosis Safe monitoring covering signature thresholds, ownership changes, module additions, guard configuration changes, transaction executions, and signature approvals. Alerts when required signer thresholds drop below safe levels or unauthorized changes are made.

**Related Incidents:** Radiant Capital ($50M)

## Admin Event Monitoring <a href="#admin-events" id="admin-events"></a>

Tracks critical contract events: ownership transfers, role grants, parameter changes, pauses, and upgrades. Configure which events to monitor and set alert thresholds for immediate visibility into administrative actions.

## Function Call Restrictions <a href="#function-restrictions" id="function-restrictions"></a>

## Proxy Upgrade Monitoring <a href="#proxy-upgrades" id="proxy-upgrades"></a>

Validates contract upgrades are properly initialized after deployment. Detects uninitialized proxy vulnerabilities, storage slot corruption, and unauthorized implementation changes.

**Related Incidents:** Nomad ($190M), Ronin Bridge ($12M), LI.FI ($10M)

## Storage Slot Integrity <a href="#storage" id="storage"></a>

Monitors critical storage slots — especially proxy implementation addresses — for unauthorized changes. Detects storage manipulation attacks, proxy hijacking, and storage collision exploits.
