RIVER operates as a multichain token through LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) framework, but its maximum supply was exclusively minted on Ethereum, which serves as the native chain. This genesis supply was created only once via the initialize() function, restricted to the contract owner and executable solely when the _isNativeChain deployment parameter is set to true. On Ethereum, _isNativeChain is set to true, formally designating it as the unique chain authorized to mint the supply. Subsequent cross-chain transfers to networks such as BNB or Base rely on a burn-and-mint mechanism that preserves the max supply invariant.
