Real-capital social-engineering persona
Frax Finance'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 #
No evidence of any team contributor or external integrator deploying real capital (>=1M USD) to build credibility ahead of a social-engineering attack on Frax Finance. The Jun 2024 X account hack was attributed by Kazemian to an insider at X Corp (not a DeFi social-engineer using capital credibility). No 6-month+ credibility-building campaign with large deployed positions found via OSINT. This is an M-only curator-flagged factor (P1) requiring verified attribution confidence beyond on-chain trail. Drift Protocol comparator: F184 requires documented UNC4736-class capital-build campaign - no analogous evidence found for Frax.
