Bridge validator count (M)
Curve Finance's assessment for RD-F-148 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Two LayerZero bridge surfaces: (1) FastBridge (crvUSD L2→Ethereum): 2-of-2 DVN — LayerZero Labs + SwissStake (Curve core developers). Adequate validator count with independent operators. (2) CRV OFT (curve-xdao, BNB/Sonic/Avalanche/Fantom/Etherlink/Kava): DVN count pre-suspension not publicly documented. Strong contextual evidence of single/default DVN: Curve triggered suspension specifically in response to rsETH Kelp DAO exploit (same 1-of-1 DVN failure class); ~47% of LZ OFT apps pre-incident used single-DVN per Hypernative analysis. Net: yellow (one surface well-configured, other surface unconfirmed and likely single-DVN).

Methodology #
Count the number of distinct validators or signers in the bridge's signer set (for non-LZ bridges; use F179 for LayerZero OFT).
