★ Empty cToken-style market (zero supply/borrow)
Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-070 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Critical factor — empty cToken-style market (Compound V2 fork exploit pattern). Axelar is not a Compound V2 fork. It is an original Cosmos-SDK PoS L1 + EVM gateway bridge protocol with no cToken markets, no lending mechanics, and no share-based vault accounting. The taxonomy Cat 4 PD-024 note explicitly states: 'Compound-fork-only (subset of lending-only): RD-F-070 — N/A for non-Compound-fork protocols.' Data cache borrow.present=false. No ERC-4626, no cToken, no share inflation attack surface exists in the Axelar gateway architecture.

Methodology #
Determine whether any listed Compound V2-fork market has `totalSupply == 0` and `totalBorrow == 0`, the precondition for a donation-exploit.
