Bridge validator count (M)
PancakeSwap's assessment for RD-F-148 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
LayerZero V1 does not have a traditional validator set. V1 uses Oracle (block-header submitter) + Relayer (tx-proof submitter). Effective validator count = 2 entities, but under default configuration both operated by LayerZero Labs. Not equivalent to independent multi-validator set. Functional 2-party system with single-entity default operator.
