Bridge uses same key custody for >30% validators
Centrifuge's assessment for RD-F-156 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
19 guardians are named independent institutional staking operators across distinct organizations. No evidence that any single key custodian holds keys for >30% (>5.7 of 19) of guardians. However, independent per-guardian key custody verification via OSINT was not completed. Yellow reflects absence of confirmed concentration, not confirmed absence.
