★ Admin has mint() with unlimited max
Circle USYC's assessment for RD-F-042 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
mint() is gated by per-minter minterAllowance mapping. Admin can call setMinterAllowance() to increase allowances, which is an indirect inflation path but requires two steps. No explicit hard total supply cap. The allowance system provides meaningful constraint but admin can expand it unilaterally without timelock.
