Commit timezone consistent with stated geography
Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-119 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
GitHub commit-hour distribution for aave-dao/aave-v3-origin and bgd-labs repositories is consistent with UK / Western-to-Central European time zones (GMT/BST/CET/CEST). Avara (parent company of Aave) is incorporated in the United Kingdom: AAVE LIMITED (Companies House #13729000, formerly 'Avara People Limited') is registered at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ; AVARA LIMITED (Companies House #14456374) is registered in Hove, England. Founder Stani Kulechov is of Finnish origin, but the operational corporate HQ of Avara / Aave Companies is London (UK), not Finland. BGD Labs is a European-distributed organisation (no single HQ). No anomalous Pacific/Asian-hour concentration in commit history.
