The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit moves a network rule about unblinded asset issuances above 21 million units from a global node setting into per-chain parameters. Before the change, the default was to accept unlimited issuances globally. After the change, the default is to reject such issuances unless a chain explicitly opts in. This is a policy/consensus-adjacent change that could affect which transactions nodes accept, but it is not presented as a security fix and does not by itself create a new exploit.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine policy refactor with a behavior change in defaults. Operators relying on unblinded issuances above 21 million units should verify they now pass `-acceptunlimitedissuances=1` on the correct chain. Reviewers should confirm that custom chain parameter overrides behave as intended and that no consensus-critical path was altered.

Security signals we found

01

Default policy tightened: unblinded issuances exceeding MoneyRange are now rejected by default on all built-in chains.

02

Global mutable flag removed in favor of chain-parameter lookup, reducing risk of inconsistent policy state.

03

No bounds-check or parsing changes; the issuance range check itself is unchanged.

04

No explicit security relevance, CVE, or advisory language in commit or supplied references.
