Bridge TVL per validator ratio
Centrifuge'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 #
Centrifuge TVL ~$1.9B (DeFiLlama, Apr 2026). Wormhole guardian count: 19. TVL per guardian: $1,900M / 19 = ~$100M. Taxonomy threshold: green < $50M/validator; yellow $50M-$200M/validator; red > $200M/validator. $100M falls firmly in yellow band. Wormhole transmits messages only — assets remain in Escrow on each chain; risk is message forgery causing accounting corruption rather than direct asset exfiltration.
