Protocol social channel has scam-coordinator flag

Circle USYC's assessment for RD-F-165 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

No USYC-specific Discord or Telegram channel identified (profile section 9 confirms: no USYC-specific Discord or Telegram found). Official social presence is @circle on X/Twitter - institutional/verified account. No curator social watchlist entry for Circle/USYC channels found. Circle's institutional brand and lack of a community-run Discord reduces the scam-coordinator infiltration surface relative to typical DeFi protocols, but fake Circle X accounts are a common industry pattern.
