Real-capital social-engineering persona
BENQI'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 (batch-24, Cat 7) assesses whether a curator-flagged 'team contributor' or 'external integrator' persona has ≥$1M of attributed real-capital deposits used to build credibility ahead of a social-engineering attack. No such persona has been curator-flagged for BENQI as of 2026-05-16. BENQI has operated ~57 months with a clean incident record (no rekt.news entry, no hacksdatabase entry). The protocol's publicly doxxed founding team (JD Gagnon, Hannu Kuusi, Alexander Szul) reduces but does not eliminate this risk vector. Drift comparator: no comparable insider-persona incident reported for BENQI or its Compound V2 fork calibration peers. Assessment requires active curator monitoring of contributor/integrator wallet flows — not completable via static OSINT alone.

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.
