★ Deployer wallet mixer-funded within 30 days
dYdX v4 (dYdX Chain)'s assessment for RD-F-124 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
CRITICAL FACTOR -- GREEN (Cosmos reframe). No single EVM deployer EOA for dYdX v4 (data cache deployer.address: null; Cosmos appchain). Trust root funding assessed via institutional chain: dYdX Labs funded by Paradigm ($65M Series C lead), a16z (Series A + Series B participant), Polychain Capital (Series A + Seed) -- all institutional VCs with named, doxxed identities and no mixer-fund history. Genesis validators (Chorus One, Luganodes, Provalidator, 60+ others) are professional institutional operators with clean funding profiles. No mixer-sourced (Tornado Cash, Railgun) funds identified in any privileged party's funding trail within any window.
