Real-capital social-engineering persona
Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-184 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No positive evidence that any Aave team contributor or external integrator persona has deployed ≥$1M of real-capital deposits to Aave or peer protocols as a social-engineering credibility-build. Lazarus Group rsETH deposits were adversarial drain actions, not credibility-building for team infiltration. BGD/ACI departures occurred via open governance, not under social-engineering pressure. M-only curation required; gray is correct absent curator-verified positive signal.
