Protocol-impersonator domain registered (typosquat)
Spiko's assessment for RD-F-161 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
spiko.io registered 2023-10-02 (registration date of official domain, not impersonator). F161 measures whether a typosquat/impersonator domain has been registered within the past 90 days. No impersonator domain identified in web search or public sources. WHOIS monitoring infrastructure (DomainTools, DNSTwister) required for systematic coverage — not accessible via public WebFetch. Spiko's $1.22B TVL gives it meaningful brand recognition as a typosquat target. Yellow rather than green: absence of positive impersonator domain evidence is not same as confirmed absence — monitoring gap acknowledged. F161 registration-date-to-assessment-date delta (official domain): 956 days — domain is well-established, reducing confusion risk slightly vs a newly-launched protocol.
