Bridge TVL per validator ratio

Pendle Finance'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 #

PENDLE OFT (V2) on HyperEVM/Berachain: PENDLE market cap ~$229M with portion on OFT chains. If DVN count = 1 (unconfirmed), TVL-per-validator ratio is extremely high. Governance messaging path (LZ V1): coordinates rewards/voting, not direct user-fund custody, so lower direct TVL-per-validator concern. Yellow because total exposure is meaningful and DVN diversity unconfirmed.
