Team public accountability surface
Falcon Finance's assessment for RD-F-112 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Andrei Grachev has multiple verifiable public accountability trails: IQ.wiki, LinkedIn (DWF Labs), media coverage (The Block, Rolling Stone, The Nation, Protos), Consensus HK 2025 speaker listing. Operational technical team has zero public accountability surface — no named engineers, no GitHub public members list, no conference speakers beyond Grachev.
Detail #
Using the public-trails-per-team-member framework: Grachev scores approximately 4/5 (real name, employment history, criminal record publicly documented, conference presence, media coverage). All other team members score 0/5 — they are not publicly identified at all. The protocol's GitHub organization (FalconFinance) appears to be an unrelated Uniswap v2 fork with no connection to the DeFi Falcon Finance protocol. DWF Labs LinkedIn page shows Grachev but does not enumerate Falcon Finance's technical staff.
