★ Deployer linked within 3 hops to DPRK/Lazarus
Maple Finance'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 any Maple Finance privileged address. No OFAC SDN match. No published Chainalysis attribution. Maple is an Australia-incorporated company with fully doxxed TradFi-background founders.
Detail #
OFAC SDN list search: no match for deployer, funder, securityAdmin, operationalAdmin, or DAO multisig addresses. Chainalysis published Lazarus cluster reports (2024–2025): no Maple Finance mention. Web search 'Maple Finance DPRK Lazarus North Korea developer': zero relevant results. The protocol's institutional character (doxxed founders, TradFi backgrounds, Australian incorporation, institutional investors) is inconsistent with DPRK infiltration patterns documented in Bybit, Drift, and WazirX cases.
