Attacker wallet pre-strike probe (low-gas failing txs)
dYdX v4 (dYdX Chain)'s assessment for RD-F-159 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Cosmos-appchain equivalent would be failed low-fee transactions to x/clob or x/bank; no public mempool monitoring infrastructure exists for dYdX's Cosmos appchain to assess this signal. The Jan 2026 supply-chain attack infrastructure showed no on-chain mempool-probe pattern — it was a package-repository injection, not on-chain reconnaissance.

Methodology #
Detect whether a wallet in a threat-actor cluster is sending low-gas or intentionally-failing transactions to this protocol (pre-strike reconnaissance pattern).
