Bridge rate-limiter / chain-pause as positive mitigant
Midas's assessment for RD-F-185 — scored red on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Bridge surface confirmed: LayerZero OFT + Axelar Vault per bug bounty scope 2026-03-24. No rate-limiter contract or chain-level pause mechanism found in Midas public documentation or Sherlock audit repos. Specific LayerZero OFT adapter addresses not found (pipeline false-negative: layerzero_oapp_address=null). No mitigant (rate-limiter nor chain-pause) confirmed. Low-confidence red (absence of evidence for mitigant, given bridge surface exists at $161M TVL across 28+ chains).

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.
