Bridge validator co-hosting

Evidence summary #

15 institutionally diverse members across multiple sectors: trading firms (Galaxy, Amber, Wintermute), exchanges (OKX, Kraken), mining pools (Antpool, F2Pool), validator infrastructure (Chorus.one, Figment, Kiln, P2P), software/key-management (Cubist, Informal Systems), analytics (Nansen), plus 1 unnamed. Geographic and operational diversity across multiple jurisdictions makes co-hosting of majority unlikely. No formal ASN-level co-hosting verification performed. Yellow: qualitative diversity is strong; no formal independent verification of infrastructure separation.
