Bridge rate-limiter / chain-pause as positive mitigant

Evidence summary #

EigenLayer is not a bridge; the F185 bridge rate-limiter is not applicable in its primary definition. The closest analogue is the Pauser Multisig (1-of-7, instant-pause) which provides a circuit-breaker capability without delay. A single authorized signer can halt the entire protocol in an emergency. No on-chain rate-limiter for withdrawals beyond the existing 14-day withdrawal queue (post-slashing launch). Scored yellow: instant-pause exists as positive mitigant but no rate-limiter; withdrawal queue is a delay not a cap.

Methodology #

Determine whether the bridge implements a per-window outflow rate-limiter (and at what cap), and whether the protocol team can trigger a chain-level or validator-set emergency pause.
