Curve DAO Token: Admin Controls

The controls within the Curve DAO Token are strictly limited. The admin of the contract can only modify the name, admin, or minter. Since the CurveOwnershipAgent is the current admin of the contract, any changes to these parameters would require a successfully passed DAO vote.

Admin Ownership

set_admin

CRV.set_admin(_admin: address):

Guarded Method

This function is only callable by the admin of the contract.

Function to set/change the admin of the contract.

Emits: SetAdmin

Input Type Description
_admin address New Admin Address
Source code 
event SetAdmin:
    admin: address

admin: public(address)

@external
def set_admin(_admin: address):
    """
    @notice Set the new admin.
    @dev After all is set up, admin only can change the token name
    @param _admin New admin address
    """
    assert msg.sender == self.admin  # dev: admin only
    self.admin = _admin
    log SetAdmin(_admin)

>>> CRV.set_admin("0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000")

Changing Name and Symbol

set_name

CRV.set_name(_name: String[64], _symbol: String[32]):

Guarded Method

This function is only callable by the admin of the contract.

Function to change the token name symbol.

Input Type Description
_name String[64] New Token Name
_symbol String[32] New Token Symbol
Source code 
name: public(String[64])
symbol: public(String[32])

@external
def set_name(_name: String[64], _symbol: String[32]):
    """
    @notice Change the token name and symbol to `_name` and `_symbol`
    @dev Only callable by the admin account
    @param _name New token name
    @param _symbol New token symbol
    """
    assert msg.sender == self.admin, "Only admin is allowed to change name"
    self.name = _name
    self.symbol = _symbol

>>> CRV.set_name("LLAMA TOKEN", "LT")

Minter

set_minter is technically an admin-only function. However, there's no actual way to change the minter of the contract using this function, because the code checks if the current minter is set to ZERO_ADDRESS, which was only true when the contract was initially deployed.

set_minter

CRV.set_minter(_minter: address):

Guarded Method

This function is only callable by the admin of the contract.

Function to set the minter contract for the token.

Emits: SetMinter

Input Type Description
_minter address New Minter Address
Source code 
event SetMinter:
    minter: address

minter: public(address)

@external
def set_minter(_minter: address):
    """
    @notice Set the minter address
    @dev Only callable once, when minter has not yet been set
    @param _minter Address of the minter
    """
    assert msg.sender == self.admin  # dev: admin only
    assert self.minter == ZERO_ADDRESS  # dev: can set the minter only once, at creation
    self.minter = _minter
    log SetMinter(_minter)

>>> CRV.set_minter("0xd061D61a4d941c39E5453435B6345Dc261C2fcE0")
