Bridge rate-limiter / chain-pause as positive mitigant
Ethena's assessment for RD-F-185 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Positive mitigant confirmed. $10M/hour per-chain rate limit on LayerZero OFT transfers. Bridge successfully paused in April 2026 (demonstrating emergency pause capability). DVN upgraded from 2-of-2 to 4-of-4 before restoration. Meaningful outflow rate-limiting and chain-pause positive controls in place.

Methodology #
Determine whether the bridge implements a per-window outflow rate-limiter (and at what cap), and whether the protocol team can trigger a chain-level or validator-set emergency pause.
