Contributing Factors
+20Burn-and-mint architecture is supply-conserving BY CONSTRUCTION: USDC is burned on the source chain and an equal amount minted on the destination — no pooled liquidity, no custodied TVL to drain
+20Per-message burn limit (BURN_LIMIT_PER_MESSAGE, tokenController-set) caps single-message size; maxMessageBodySize=8192 bounds payload
+20V2 adds fast-burn (with feeRecipient) and hook data — new message formats incompatible with V1; ChainSecurity rated the V2 changes 'high' security on signature/event/access-control handling
+20No leverage, no AMM, no liquidation engine; the economic failure mode is a forged attestation minting unbacked USDC on a destination chain (an integrity failure, scored in D3/D10), not an economic-design flaw
