★ Default bytes32(0) acceptable as valid root

Marinade Finance's assessment for RD-F-154 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

[★ CRITICAL — NOT_APPLICABLE] No bridge; no Merkle root acceptance logic in Marinade's Solana BPF program. The Nomad-class default-value root acceptance bug requires a bridge inbox that accepts bytes32(0) as a valid root. Marinade has no bridge inbox, no cross-chain message validation, and no Merkle root acceptance logic. Factor does not engage.
