New ERC-20 approval to unverified contract from whale

Marinade Finance's assessment for RD-F-096 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

ERC-20 approve() creates an on-chain approval slot traceable via EVM event logs. Solana SPL Token uses a delegate authority model (spl-token approve instruction) that differs architecturally; no equivalent EVM approval-to-unverified-contract pattern exists for Solana SPL tokens. U10: not_applicable_substrate.
