Bridge validator threshold (k-of-M)
M^0's assessment for RD-F-149 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Wormhole NTT: threshold is 13-of-19 guardians for a valid VAA (quorum ~2/3+1 of the guardian set). Well-established, battle-tested threshold. Hyperlane Portal Lite: ISM threshold not confirmed for M^0-specific deployment. Default Hyperlane ISM typically 8-of-11 but this requires direct on-chain verification for M^0's Portal Lite.
