Real-capital social-engineering persona
GMX v2 (GMX Synthetics)'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 #
RD-F-184 is an M-only (manual curation) factor. No curator-flagged social-engineering persona with ≥$1M real-capital deposits to GMX or peer protocols has been identified. The canonical comparator pattern (Drift Protocol April 2026, UNC4736/TraderTraitor 6-month persona build-up) targeted Drift, not GMX. No OSINT surface suggests a suspicious 'external contributor' or 'integrator' persona with large deposits building credibility within GMX. Scored gray per methodology: absence of positive curator evidence cannot be converted to green without the affirmative confirmation framework pending PD-019. Drift-comparator pattern cited for reference.

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.
