Bridge validator co-hosting

Frax 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 #

Fraxtal: single proposer EOA and single sequencer EOA — both controlled by Frax team (co-hosting trivially true as single entity). FraxFerry: Captain/Crew/First Officer all controlled by Frax team. LayerZero DVN: multiple independent operators (Horizen, Frax DVN, LZ Labs, Blockdaemon-Animoca, Polyhedra) — not co-hosted per available information. Yellow because FraxFerry and Fraxtal have 100% single-entity control (effective co-hosting), but the LayerZero OFT path (which carries frxUSD) uses independent DVN operators.
