Bridge TVL per validator ratio
Babylon Protocol's assessment for RD-F-157 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Total TVL: $4.16B (100% BTC, DefiLlama 2026-05-04). Covenant committee: 9 members, 6-of-9 threshold. Per-member exposure: $4.16B / 9 = ~$462M per committee member. Note: covenant committee cannot unilaterally steal BTC (script path enforcement); risk is unbonding authorization. Still, $462M per member represents high incentive for nation-state-class adversaries.
