Evidence summary #
Commit DON: 2F+1 quorum required (exact node count not publicly disclosed; multi-node). RMN Ethereum ARM v1 (0x8B63b3DE93431C0f756A493644d128134291fA1b): 3 blessing nodes + 3 cursing nodes verified on-chain. RMNRemote (newer architecture): F+1 signatures required; per-chain signer count not publicly enumerated. YELLOW: Ethereum ARM v1 has low absolute node count (3 bless) for ~$7B secured value.
