Bridge validator-set rotation recency

Ethena's assessment for RD-F-155 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

LayerZero DVN configuration was rotated in April 2026 (from 2-of-2 to 4-of-4) following the Kelp DAO incident — a deliberate security upgrade. Most recent rotation: April 2026 (less than 1 month ago). Prior configuration had been stable since OFT deployment in September 2025. The upgrade was reactive but executed promptly (within ~4 days of the Kelp incident, April 18-22, 2026).
