Team public accountability surface
Lista DAO'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 #
CEO Tetsu/Toru Watanabe: named in Binance Labs press context across 3+ independent secondary sources; no standalone confirmed LinkedIn profile linking to this protocol found. COO Tai Rui Huang: Binance Labs experience described; LinkedIn profile visible as 'Terry Huang' on company page. GitHub primary developer 'rick' (jing.xin@lista.org) provides real-name anchor. No conference talk bibliography, no prior-employer history independently confirmed for CEO. Accountability surface is low relative to $1.19B TVL. Yellow: partial accountability surface with institutional-investor attestation as the key anchoring signal.
