rubric v1.7.0

Bridge validator count (M)

Sushi (SushiSwap) — v2 + v3 + Trident + BentoBox/Kashi + SushiXSwap's assessment for RD-F-148 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Sushi does not operate its own bridge validator set. SushiXSwap delegates to Stargate v2 (LayerZero v2 infrastructure) with 2/2 required DVNs (Nethermind + LayerZero Labs). Sushi has no visibility or control over the validator set. Factor applies to bridge operators; Sushi is a bridge consumer/router.
