★ Deployer wallet mixer-funded within 30 days
EigenLayer's assessment for RD-F-124 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No evidence of Tornado Cash / Railgun / mixer funding within 30 days of any EigenLayer core contract deployment. Eigen Labs received institutional VC funding (Series A March 2023 from Blockchain Capital + Polychain; before mainnet launch June 2023), providing a clean, large-scale institutional funding source for contract deployment costs. Data cache deployer.address is null (pipeline gap prevents full on-chain verification of specific deployer EOA), but no OSINT allegation of mixer-funded deployment exists. Important clarification: a Yahoo Finance article from June 2023 noted the Tornado Cash *protocol deployer address* was among early depositors into EigenLayer LST pools — this refers to that address acting as a USER of EigenLayer's pools, not to EigenLayer's own deployer being funded via mixer. The 30-day window criterion for RD-F-124 is not triggered by external users of the protocol. Curator action: confirm by tracing contractCreator EOA on Etherscan for DelegationManager (0x39053D
