★ Admin has mint() with unlimited max

Lido'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 #

LDO MiniMeToken has generateTokens() with no hard supply cap. Controller = Aragon Agent (DAO-governed + timelocked post-July 2025). Practical mint requires full DAO governance process. stETH minting is demand-driven, not admin-callable with unlimited supply.
