Real-capital social-engineering persona
Hyperlane'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 curator-flagged 'team contributor' or 'external integrator' persona identified as having made >=1M USD in attributed deposits to Hyperlane or peer protocols as a social-engineering setup. Issue #8589 reporter (handle 'bilinmeyenkarakter') is an external security researcher requesting disclosure, not a social-engineering insider persona. The Drift Protocol UNC4736 analogue pattern was not identified for Hyperlane. No adverse signals found in open-source OSINT. Factor definition specifies M-only curation with curator confidence required beyond on-chain trail; positive confirmation requires dedicated curator investigation. Gray assigned per collection methodology: only-OSINT without curator confirmation is insufficient for this factor.

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.
