Protocol-impersonator domain registered (typosquat)
OpenEden's assessment for RD-F-161 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Protocol-impersonator domain registered (typosquat). Assessed first per briefing. openeden.com: creation date 2013-02-13, registrar GoDaddy, last updated 2026-02-28, expires 2029-02-13. Legitimate domain predates the 2023 protocol launch by ~10 years — company acquired domain in advance of or at corporate formation. 90-day window (2026-02-15 to 2026-05-16): no lookalike domain registration event found through web search (searched 'open-eden', '0peneden', 'openeeden', brand impersonation). No DeFi scam trackers, DFPI crypto scam tracker, or phishing-alert databases list an OpenEden typosquat as of 2026-05-16. OpenEden's institutional KYC-gated positioning reduces opportunistic typosquatting risk relative to anonymous DeFi protocols but does not eliminate it. Public-search scope only; pipeline DNS monitoring would provide continuous coverage.
