Failure Modes

Liminal is designed so that failures remain local and do not propagate across layers.

If ERC-20 deployment on Base fails, no cross-chain side effects are introduced. The SPL token on Solana remains unchanged, and deployment can be retried safely.

If routing or bridging fails, token ownership remains unchanged on the source chain. Deployment state and identity guarantees are not affected by routing errors.

Duplicate deployments are prevented at the factory level. For a given identity, only one ERC-20 representation can exist, ensuring consistent behavior under repeated execution.

All failure modes are isolated, predictable, and recoverable, allowing safe retries without introducing inconsistent state.
