★ Deployer linked within 3 hops to DPRK/Lazarus
OpenEden'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 OFAC SDN listing found for any identified OpenEden address, team member name, or entity (OpenEden Group, River Labs Pte Ltd, OpenEden Digital). No Chainalysis public report, TRM Labs advisory, or OFAC Ethereum SDN list associating deployer EOA or operator address with DPRK/Lazarus cluster. Oct-2024 co-founder termination (Eugene Ng) was for personal-conduct allegations (drink-spiking) with no nation-state characterization in any source. Fully doxxed TradFi leadership team; Binance Labs investor (Sep 2024); Ripple $10M XRPL anchor (Aug 2024). Consistent with RWA peer cohort (all green). Private CTI (Chainalysis Reactor/TRM) not queried; confidence is medium but consistent with institutional profile.
