Evidence summary #

Cosmos appchain -- no single EVM deployer EOA (data cache deployer.address: null). Trust root assessed via genesis validator set: Chorus One, Luganodes, Provalidator, and 60+ other institutional professional validators. All identified validators are named entities with public validator blogs, established Cosmos operations, and no adverse prior history. Binary release signers are dYdX Labs engineers (dydxprotocol GitHub org, active since 2018). No prior rug or adverse on-chain history in the trust-root set.
