Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-122 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No evidence of any Axelar contributor payroll routing to DPRK-labeled wallets. Multiple searches for 'Axelar Network contributor payroll DPRK North Korea Lazarus supply chain 2024 2025' return zero Axelar-specific adverse results. General DPRK supply-chain threat (npm packages, etc.) is an industry-wide concern not specific to Axelar. Individual contributor payment wallet traces not completed — requires on-chain tooling. Adverse-evidence search is clean.
