Contributor paid to DPRK-cluster wallet
Orca's assessment for RD-F-122 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No public CTI report (Chainalysis, TRM Labs, OFAC) links any Orca contributor payment path to a DPRK/Lazarus cluster wallet within 3 hops. Individual contributor wallet addresses are not publicly disclosed by Orca, preventing direct on-chain hop-count traversal. Assessed green based on: (1) absence of any positive signal across comprehensive CTI/OSINT search; (2) co-founders' fully public professional histories with no DPRK linkage; (3) no OFAC entry for any team member. The gap in contributor wallet disclosure is noted as a protocol opacity item.
