CREATE2 factory permits same-address redeploy

Babylon Protocol's assessment for RD-F-144 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

CREATE2 is an EVM opcode. Cosmos SDK and Bitcoin do not use CREATE2. CosmWasm contract deployment uses code IDs and instantiation, not CREATE2 patterns. No same-address redeploy risk exists in this architecture.

Methodology #

Determine whether a CREATE2 factory deployment allows redeployment to the same address with different bytecode (via selfdestruct + redeploy pattern).
