★ Admin has mint() with unlimited max
Curve Finance's assessment for RD-F-042 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
CRV token has asymptotic supply cap ~3.03B enforced by piecewise linear inflation schedule. Minter contract enforces assert _total_supply <= self._available_supply(). No admin-callable unbounded mint function. The DAO controls gauge weights (which pools earn emissions) but cannot override the inflation schedule or mint outside it.
