Real-capital social-engineering persona
Marinade Finance's assessment for RD-F-184 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
RD-F-184 is M-only OSINT: requires curator to positively flag a known social-engineering AI persona with >= $1M attributed deposits. The Drift Protocol UNC4736 incident is the reference class (attacker deposited $1M+ to Drift Ecosystem Vault over 6 months). No comparable curator-flagged pattern found for Marinade. Marinade's product profile (staking, not a perps/AMM exchange) differs structurally from the Drift attack surface. Gray assigned per instruction: do not attempt to prove absence of a no-public-trace pattern.

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.
