Bridge TVL per validator ratio
Frax Finance's assessment for RD-F-157 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Fraxtal bridge: TVL ~$5.95M / 1 proposer = $5.95M per validator (below $50M green threshold, but effectively unlimited risk because single proposer can finalize any state root). FraxFerry: explicitly capped by contract liquidity (design safety per docs: 'risk is capped by token amounts in bridge contracts'). LayerZero OFT: ~$298M total TVL; 4+ independent DVN operators required = ~$75M per DVN (within yellow $50M–$200M range). Scoring yellow for highest-risk non-LZ surfaces: Fraxtal single-proposer means TVL per validator is $5.95M by ratio but functionally unlimited trust in one actor.
