Bridge validator count (M)
Compound V3 (Comet)'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 #
Compound does not maintain its own bridge validator set. Governance relay delegates to canonical L2 bridge validators (Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon PoS). Validator count is outside Compound's control.
Detail #
Arbitrum uses an optimistic rollup model with a sequencer and fraud-proof validators. Optimism/Base use similar OP Stack model. Polygon PoS uses ~100+ validators with 2/3 threshold. Compound inherits these validator sets via BaseBridgeReceiver checking rootMessageSender == govTimelock.

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