External keeper/relayer not redundant

Evidence summary #

Relayer redundancy: protocol is permissionless for relayers (any party can run a relayer); bridge fills are permissionless. Dataworker (bundle proposer) is more centralized — Risk Labs runs the primary dataworker, though the permissive design allows anyone to propose. If the single dataworker is offline, no new bundles are proposed; relayers bear capital risk indefinitely until someone proposes. Dataworker is NOT redundant in practice.

Methodology #

Determine whether the protocol depends on a single keeper or relayer (Gelato, Chainlink Automation, custom) with no redundancy or failover.
