★ Admin has mint() with unlimited max
Aerodrome Finance's assessment for RD-F-042 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
AERO token mint() has no supply cap. However, mint() is callable ONLY by the designated Minter contract (NotMinter check) — not directly by the team multisig. Minter is a verified, audited contract with decay math. Team controls minter role indirectly via team rate and setTeam(). No hard supply ceiling on the token contract itself, but practical constraints exist via Minter architecture.
