Bridge validator count (M)
Pendle Finance'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 #
For LayerZero V1 governance messaging: default oracle+relayer config — effectively a single oracle (LayerZero Labs) and single relayer (LayerZero Labs). Validator count = 2 entities (oracle + relayer) but both operated by LayerZero Labs, effectively 1 independent party. For canonical chain bridges: security determined by each chain's validator set (Arbitrum, Optimism validators — not Pendle-controlled). For PENDLE OFT (V2): DVN count not confirmed on-chain.

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