Real-capital social-engineering persona
Lista DAO's assessment for RD-F-184 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No evidence of any 'team contributor' or 'external integrator' persona deploying ≥$1M real capital to Lista DAO or peer protocols as part of a social-engineering build-up. The F184 reference case is the Drift Protocol UNC4736 pattern (Lazarus persona deployed >$1M over 6 months, in-person conferences, Solana durable-nonce pre-signing). No analogous pattern identified for Lista DAO personnel. The Binance Labs $10M investment (Aug 2023) is an institutional arm's-length venture investment from a named firm, not a persona-based capital deployment for credibility building. GitHub contributors and named team members show no social-engineering persona signals. Note: this factor is M-only, P1, and confidence is inherently low in the absence of active OSINT investigation; the green reflects absence of evidence rather than confirmed absence.

Methodology #
Determine whether a curator-flagged "team contributor" or "external integrator" persona has ≥$1M of attributed real-capital deposits to the target protocol or peer protocols, potentially used to build credibility ahead of a social-engineering attack.
