★ Deployer linked within 3 hops to DPRK/Lazarus
Hyperlane's assessment for RD-F-125 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No DPRK/Lazarus cluster proximity found for deployer EOA 0xa7ECcdb9 or any named principal. Deployer funded by KuCoin 10 at 1-hop (CEX, not DPRK-labeled). OFAC SDN search returned no hits for Jon Kol, Asa Oines, or Nam Chu Hoai. Targeted search 'Hyperlane Abacus Works Jon Kol Asa Oines DPRK Lazarus North Korea' returned zero results. All named principals have verified prior-employer histories (Galaxy Digital, cLabs/Celo, Google) inconsistent with DPRK actor profile. No Chainalysis-published cluster report flagging any Hyperlane wallet. Hyperlane as passive bridge venue for DPRK fund movement does NOT contaminate F125 per U4 — route any such finding to Cat 11. No DPRK escalation required.
