Deployer address prior on-chain history
Orca's assessment for RD-F-114 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Whirlpools program (whirLbMiicVdio4qvUfM5KAg6Ct8VwpYzGff3uctyCc) deployed 2022-03-23 on Solana mainnet; AMM v1 launched Feb 2021. The original deploy authority was subsequently transferred to the Squads v4 vault PDA (GwH3Hiv5mACLX3ufTw1pFsrhSPon5tdw252DBs4Rx4PV), verified on-chain. Orca was bootstrapped via Solana Foundation grant; no deployer address linked to prior rug in any CTI source. Normal dev history: open-source repo, 4+ years of continuous commits, 6 audit engagements. Solana does not expose a traditional EVM-style deployer EOA with a separate funding trail; the program deploy keypair was used once and authority transferred — consistent with best practice.

Methodology #
Classify the deployer address history as: none (fresh address) / normal-dev-history (prior protocol deploys, non-flagged activity) / linked-to-prior-rug (deployer used in prior known rug).
