Bridge TVL per validator ratio

Midas's assessment for RD-F-157 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Midas cross-chain TVL: $161M total. Non-Ethereum TVL estimated at approximately $56M (Base 11%, Plasma 11%, Monad 8%, Arbitrum 5%, others per DefiLlama chain distribution). Axelar validators: approximately 75 active. Axelar-bridged TVL ratio: approximately $750K per validator — within normal range for PoS bridge security. LayerZero ratio: cannot compute (DVN count unknown). Yellow due to LayerZero DVN count unknown — if 1-of-1 DVN, the effective ratio is $56M per single DVN, which is extremely high.
