Fica Pajic enhanced the StakeManager component within the status-im/status-network-monorepo by implementing role-based access control using Solidity and the AccessControlUpgradeable library. He replaced the previous Ownable-based initialization and upgrade logic with a modular, upgradeable pattern, introducing a GUARDIAN_ROLE to enable emergency mode activation by designated guardians. This approach improved the system’s security, governance, and resilience, aligning with best practices for upgradeable smart contracts. Fica’s work focused on feature delivery and maintainability, laying the groundwork for safer future upgrades and more robust security audits. No tracked bugs were fixed during this period, as efforts centered on architectural improvements and new functionality.

In August 2025, delivered security-focused RBAC enhancements to StakeManager within status-network-monorepo. Implemented AccessControlUpgradeable-based role management and introduced GUARDIAN_ROLE for emergency mode, replacing the previous Ownable initialization/upgrade logic. This improves security, governance, and resilience, and aligns with upgradeable-contract best practices. No major bugs fixed in this period were tracked; work focused on feature delivery, maintainability, and preparing for safer upgrades across the StakeManager scope.
