Real-capital social-engineering persona
Veda (BoringVault)'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 #
F184 definition: a 'team contributor' or 'external integrator' persona has deposited ≥$1M of real capital to the target protocol or peer protocols to build credibility ahead of a social-engineering attack. No such curator-flagged persona has been identified for Veda. The reference pattern (Drift Protocol / UNC4736 6-month conference and in-person build-up with real-capital deposits before durable-nonce pre-signing exploit) has no analogous evidence for Veda. The institutionally backed, doxxed, US-incorporated team structure is inconsistent with a social-engineering build-up scenario. Per process-learnings: 'Mark GRAY + note Drift comparator as reference; don't spend time confirming absence of something that by design leaves no public trace.' Curator confirmation required to convert to green or red.

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.
