Public initialize() without initializer modifier

BENQI's assessment for RD-F-022 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

QiToken.sol initialize() is public but protected by the Compound V2 initialization lock: require(accrualBlockTimestamp == 0 && borrowIndex == 0, 'market may only be initialized once') — equivalent to the OZ initializer modifier effect. StakedAvax.sol uses the explicit OZ initializer modifier: 'function initialize(uint _cooldownPeriod, uint _redeemPeriod) initializer public'. Dedaub Ignite L2 (initializer-related low severity) was marked resolved. No unguarded public initialize identified across the inspected contracts. Green.

Sources #

Methodology #

Determine whether any implementation contract exposes `initialize(…)` without the OpenZeppelin `initializer` modifier or equivalent initialization lock.
