Cross-chain bridge unverified mint pattern
Chainlink CCIP's assessment for RD-F-106 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Directly applicable — unverified mint on destination chain is precisely the failure mode CCIP's dual-DON + RMN architecture is designed to prevent. Current posture: no unverified mint pattern detected. CCIP architecture requires: (1) Commit DON posts Merkle root, (2) RMN independently blesses, (3) Execute DON finalizes. The three-layer verification makes bypass of all layers simultaneously unprecedented. CCIP Explorer shows all lanes operational. No report of unverified cross-chain mints via CCIP in 34 months of operation.

Methodology #
Detect cross-chain activity consistent with an unverified mint on the destination chain (deposit on source without corresponding verified proof on dest).
