rubric v1.7.0

Real-capital social-engineering persona

Polymarket'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 found of a team contributor or external integrator persona with >=1M USD in attributed real-capital deposits to Polymarket or peer protocols used to build credibility ahead of a social-engineering attack. The Van Dyke insider-trading case (US Special Forces soldier using classified info) is an external market participant, not a social-engineering developer persona. The ISW employee who manipulated a Ukraine map for market gain (~$200K, Nov 2025) is an external actor. The Drift Protocol C17-class UNC4736 pattern (real-capital persona buildup, conference attendance, durable-nonce pre-signing) has no analog found in Polymarket's developer history. M-only factor; no positive finding.
