Contributor paid to DPRK-cluster wallet
USDD (Decentralized USD)'s assessment for RD-F-122 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No confirmed on-chain path ≤3 hops from TRON DAO Reserve contributor wallets to DPRK-labeled cluster found in published OSINT. TRON blockchain broadly used by DPRK IT workers (21 TRON/ETH addresses designated in March 2026 OFAC action), but this is chain-level. No Chainalysis or TRM Labs report links USDD contributor payment wallets specifically to Lazarus. Score yellow: elevated chain-level concern with no wallet-specific positive evidence.
