Bridge uses same key custody for >30% validators

Ethena's assessment for RD-F-156 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

DVN operator identities not disclosed publicly for Ethena's post-upgrade configuration. Cannot assess whether >30% of the 4 DVN operators share a single key custodian. This is a material gap: if 3 of 4 DVNs use the same infrastructure provider, the effective security of the 4-of-4 configuration is significantly lower than the threshold implies. Curator must identify Ethena's specific DVN provider selection from LayerZero ecosystem partners.
