Evidence summary #
No curator flag for a real-capital social-engineering persona (>=USD 1M deposits to build credibility) by any team contributor or external integrator for Aerodrome. Reference comparator: Drift Protocol UNC4736 (DPRK) 6-month conference/in-person build-up + Solana durable-nonce pre-signing. No analogous pattern identified for Aerodrome contributors. Per process-learnings: mark GRAY + note Drift comparator; cannot confirm absence of something that leaves no public trace by design. M-only OSINT; P1 priority; requires curator trigger signal.

Methodology #
Determine whether a curator-flagged "team contributor" or "external integrator" persona has ≥$1M of attributed real-capital deposits to the target protocol or peer protocols, potentially used to build credibility ahead of a social-engineering attack.
