 ### INV-014: Pause Functionality
 
-- **Invariant**: The protocol must be pausable in emergency situations
+- **Invariant**: The protocol must be pausable in emergency situations. This should prevent inbound and outbound flows of assets.

+### INV-021: Do Not Lock Up Dust
+
+- **Invariant**: All cross-chain transfers must prevent the user from overspending and locking "dust" in the contract
+- **Description**: Ensures funds do not become locked in the contracts if users over pay
+- **Enforcement**: Amount calculations in processing, structs representing TrimmedAmount
+- **Error Codes**: `TransferAmountHasDust` (EVM); Sui returns a separate Coin for dust; Solana uses `trimmed_amount` to remove dust before a transfer

 ## Transceiver Management
 
-### INV-022: Transceiver Registration Requirement
+### INV-023: Transceiver Registration Requirement
 
 - **Invariant**: A transceiver can be enabled only when it is also registered
 - **Description**: It is invalid for an enabled transceiver to be unregistered
 - **Enforcement**: Assertions on transceiver management code paths
 - **Code Reference**: `TransceiverRegistry.sol` (EVM)
 
-### INV-023: Attestation Threshold Bounds
+### INV-024: Minimum and Maximum Threshold Bounds
 
-- **Invariant**: `threshold <= number_of_enabled_transceivers && threshold > 0`
+- **Invariant**: Threshold must be 1) greater than zero and 2) less than or equal to the number of enabled transceivers
 - **Description**: Attestation threshold must not exceed available transceivers and must be positive
 - **Enforcement**: Explicit bounds checking in threshold setting functions
-- **Error Codes**: `ThresholdTooHigh`, `ZeroThreshold` (EVM/Solana), **MISSING VALIDATION** (Sui)
+- **Error Codes**: `ThresholdTooHigh`, `ZeroThreshold` (EVM/Solana)
 - **Code Reference**: `_checkThresholdInvariants()` (EVM), error enforcement (Solana), `EThresholdTooHigh` (Sui)
 
-### INV-024: Non-Zero Threshold Requirement
-
-- **Invariant**: When transceivers are registered, threshold must be greater than zero

 ### INV-025: Minimum Transceiver Requirement
 
-- **Invariant**: At least one transceiver must be enabled for operations
+- **Invariant**: At least one transceiver must be enabled for operations (after initial deployment)
 - **Description**: Prevents operations when no transceivers are available to process messages
 - **Enforcement**: Enabled transceiver count validation before operations
 - **Error Codes**: `NoEnabledTransceivers` (EVM), `NoRegisteredTransceivers` (Solana)
-- **Code Reference**: `if (numEnabledTransceivers == 0) revert NoEnabledTransceivers();`

+### INV-026: Transceiver Registration Requirement
+
+- **Invariant**: A transceiver cannot be unregistered and its index must not change
+- **Description**: Transceivers should never be truly deleted, only disabled. This preserves their index into the bitmap which is crucial for attestation.
+- **Enforcement**: Assertions on transceiver management code paths
+
+### INV-027: Transceiver index should always increase
+
+- **Invariant**: The next transceiver index must always increase monotically
+- **Description**: The next transceiver index should always go up by one. This guarantees uniqueness of indices into the bitmap which is crucial for attestation.
