rubric v1.7.0

Bridge validator count (M)

Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-148 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

a.DI uses multiple bridge adapters (CCIP, LayerZero V2, Hyperlane, native bridges) — architecturally multi-validator by design. CCIP: Chainlink DON (established, geographically diverse). Hyperlane: independent validator network. Native bridges: chain-specific. Specific validator counts per adapter not confirmed by on-chain read. GHO CCIP: Chainlink DON only. Note: rsETH incident involved Kelp DAO's own LayerZero OFT (1/1 DVN) — NOT a.DI.

Methodology #

Count the number of distinct validators or signers in the bridge's signer set (for non-LZ bridges; use F179 for LayerZero OFT).
