Real-capital social-engineering persona
StakeWise v3's assessment for RD-F-184 — scored gray on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Factor requires curator OSINT: a 'team contributor or external integrator persona with >=1M real-capital deposits to build credibility ahead of social-engineering attack' (Drift UNC4736 precedent). No such indicator identified in public data for StakeWise: team is publicly named (Tsumak, Kutakov); no unidentified contributor with large anomalous deposits flagged in public threat intel; no UNC-series attribution in Chainalysis or US Treasury public reports covering StakeWise. However 5 of 7 DAO Safe signers are pseudonymous with incomplete identity trace — a future curator pass with Arkham/Nansen paid-tier traces plus DPRK threat intel feed cross-reference is required before this factor can be scored. Comparator: Drift Protocol was scored red on F184 after Chainalysis published UNC4736 attribution (Feb 2026). StakeWise has no equivalent public attribution on record as of 2026-05-16.

Methodology #
Determine whether a curator-flagged "team contributor" or "external integrator" persona has ≥$1M of attributed real-capital deposits to the target protocol or peer protocols, potentially used to build credibility ahead of a social-engineering attack.
