Bridge validator co-hosting

Pendle Finance's assessment for RD-F-150 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

LayerZero V1 governance path: both default oracle and relayer are operated by LayerZero Labs — confirmed same-entity co-hosting for this path. For PENDLE OFT (V2): DVN operator diversity not confirmed. If using LayerZero default DVN (single operator), same co-hosting risk. Canonical chain bridges: security determined by chain teams (different entities). Yellow rather than red because governance messaging path doesn't directly custody user funds.
