Bridge TVL per validator ratio
Chainlink CCIP'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 #
Using $7B value-secured anchor and 3 RMN blessing nodes (Ethereum ARM v1): $7B / 3 = ~$2.3B per blessing node. Extremely high TVS-to-validator ratio. Note: ARM v1 covers Ethereum mainnet; other chains have own ARM/RMN instances. If RMNRemote scales validators proportionally across 60 chains, per-chain concentration is lower, but Ethereum-secured value (cbBTC, cbETH) is the largest pool.
