★ Public initialize() without initializer modifier

Babylon Protocol's assessment for RD-F-022 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Cosmos SDK modules use InitGenesis() for initial state setup, callable only at chain genesis block. CosmWasm contracts use instantiate() enforced as single-call by the CosmWasm VM. No Solidity initialize() pattern exists in this architecture. Structurally inapplicable.

Methodology #
