Bridge validator count (M)
Fluid's assessment for RD-F-148 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
For the CCIP path (primary bridge): Chainlink CCIP uses a Committing DON with 16 operators plus an independent Risk Management Network (RMN). The RMN acts as a second layer of verification. This is a well-established multi-party architecture. For LayerZero path (Fluid Lite secondary): specific DVN configuration for Fluid's LayerZero OFT not confirmed in available sources (data cache layerzero.present: false for core Fluid protocol). The Fluid governance forum post (evaluating bridge solutions, selecting CCIP) explicitly states that CCIP's multi-DON architecture was a key selection criterion. Green for CCIP path; LayerZero path DVN count unconfirmed (see F179).

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