★ Low-threshold multisig vs TVL
Chainlink CCIP's assessment for RD-F-028 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Cannot confirm threshold. Signer count and group quorums are deliberately undisclosed by Chainlink Labs. At $7B+ TVS this opacity is a material concern. Cannot score green (no threshold evidence) or red (no evidence of low threshold). Gray reflects confirmed opacity at scale, not a research gap.

Methodology #
Determine whether the multisig threshold is abnormally low relative to TVL peer cohort (e.g., 2-of-3 for a protocol with >$100M TVL where peer norm is 5-of-8).
