rubric v1.7.0

Admin has mint() with unlimited max

Rocket Pool'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 #

RPL token inflationMintTokens() is publicly callable (not admin-gated) but controlled by a DAO-set rate. No hard supply cap exists. The inflation rate can be modified by pDAO governance (and guardian bootstrap functions). This is not a direct admin-callable unlimited mint, but the absence of a supply cap and guardian's ability to change the inflation rate via bootstrap functions creates meaningful risk. Saturn One plans to phase out inflation by late 2026.
