Contributor paid to DPRK-cluster wallet
Babylon Protocol's assessment for RD-F-122 — scored not_assessed on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No on-chain payment streams from Babylon Labs treasury to contributor wallets with DPRK cluster proximity are known. Babylon Labs uses institutional VC funding ($95.7M from Polychain, Paradigm, Hack VC, Galaxy) and presumably off-chain payroll for ~40+ employees. Dedicated DPRK search found zero results. However: individual contributor wallet payment routing cannot be verified at OSINT tier without Chainalysis API; covenant committee keys are off-chain Bitcoin signing keys, not payment destination addresses; the contributor list (KonradStaniec, SebastianElvis, etc.) does not have their personal payment wallets publicly linked. Cannot confirm definitive absence of 3-hop routing for all contributor wallets. Scored not_assessed rather than gray — evidence gap, not structural inapplicability.

Methodology #
Determine whether protocol payments to any contributor wallet have an on-chain path ≤3 hops to a known DPRK-labeled cluster.
