Real-capital social-engineering persona
USDD (Decentralized USD)'s assessment for RD-F-184 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No curator-flagged social-engineering persona associated with USDD. The Drift Protocol Apr 2026 UNC4736 pattern (long-term persona building with $1M+ real-capital deposits before exploit) is not identified in USDD's history. Justin Sun is the de facto controlling figure — openly known and maximally public, not a covert implant. Minting institution members are named institutional entities with public footprints and no social-engineering persona flags.
