Quorum achievable via single-entity flash loan

Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-037 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Cosmos governance quorum requires ≥2/3 of approximately 75 active validators by quadratic-weighted stake. Single-entity flash loan on EVM cannot obtain Cosmos-staked AXL position. Even on-chain AXL acquisition and staking requires 21-day bonding. Flash-loan-based quorum achievement is structurally impossible.
