Social-media impersonation scam spike
Usual (USD0 / bUSD0 / USUAL)'s assessment for RD-F-109 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No active impersonation campaign (fake airdrops, fake team accounts) identified in public sources for Usual Money in the assessment window. Historical context: USUAL token airdrop campaign ran in late 2024 — a common trigger for scam spikes — but no active campaigns found at time of assessment. Protocol brand ($104.77M TVL, $1.87B 12-month peak) creates ongoing impersonation risk; this factor should be re-evaluated episodically.
