Real-capital social-engineering persona

Sky Lending (formerly MakerDAO)'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 curator-flagged social-engineering persona associated with Sky Lending. Protocol is a well-established $5B+ TVL flagship with 77-month history. Ecosystem Actor onboarding requires formal governance vote, providing a documented vetting gate. No new-contributor-sudden-trust-elevation pattern observed. The Drift/UNC4736 reference case is a newly-onboarded contributor pattern; Sky does not match this profile.
