Contributor paid to DPRK-cluster wallet
Hyperlane's assessment for RD-F-122 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Deployer EOA 0xa7ECcdb9 funded by KuCoin 10 (CEX, 1-hop, not DPRK-labeled). No Chainalysis or Arkham public report found flagging any Hyperlane contributor wallet in a DPRK cluster within 3 hops. Targeted search 'Hyperlane Tornado Cash Lazarus OFAC sanctions' returned no team-connection results. Note: this factor covers payroll-to-wallet routing; Hyperlane as passive bridge venue for DPRK fund movement does not satisfy this factor per U4.
