★ Admin has mint() with unlimited max
Yearn Finance'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 #
YFI token (0x0bc529c00C6401aef6D220BE8C6Ea1667F6Ad93e) has mint(address, uint256). Supply cap: 36,666 YFI (enforced in contract). Minting controlled by minters mapping gated by governance address (currently ychad-controlled). Not unlimited: supply cap enforced on-chain. Minter additions require governance action. Yellow: mint exists, multisig-governed, cap enforced but not timelocked at the minter-add level.
