★ Admin has mint() with unlimited max

Chainlink CCIP's assessment for RD-F-042 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

CCIP admin (Chainlink Labs via MCMS) does not control a protocol governance token with unlimited mint. LINK has a fixed total supply. Bridge token pools use burn/mint where the token issuer (not CCIP admin) controls supply. No CCIP admin mint(...) with unlimited max exists.
