Contributor paid to DPRK-cluster wallet
stHYPE (Valantis Labs)'s assessment for RD-F-122 — scored not_assessed on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Off-chain payroll for Thunderhead and Valantis Labs employees; no on-chain payment streams to contributor wallets were identified. The factor requires tracing contributor payment wallets to within 3 hops of DPRK-labeled cluster addresses. No HR/payroll wallet streams are observable at OSINT tier for either entity. Per process-learnings.md F122 guidance: cannot be meaningfully assessed at OSINT tier for companies with off-chain payroll beyond the deployer address (which was separately assessed under RD-F-124/125).
