Bridge TVL per validator ratio
Circle USYC's assessment for RD-F-157 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Taxonomy mismatch: no independent validator set. If treating Circle as 1 validator, TVL/validator = $2.97B (extreme concentration). However the factor assumes independent validators that can be individually compromised. The underlying single-issuer concentration risk is properly assessed under Cat 2 (admin key posture). Not_applicable for independent-validator-set interpretation.
