Bridge validator co-hosting
Maple 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 #
CCIP DON operators are externally managed by Chainlink. LayerZero DVN operator co-hosting not assessed (layerzeroscan rate-limited). Cannot verify independence of validators for either bridge surface.
Detail #
Co-hosting assessment requires access to Chainlink's published DON operator list and LayerZero DVN operator identities. Neither was fully assessable within this assessment due to API rate-limiting and the application-layer opacity of CCIP's DON model.
