Prior rug/exit-scam affiliation
Yearn Finance's assessment for RD-F-115 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No rug or exit-scam affiliation confirmed for any named team member or banteg. The Coordinape/Keller DPRK incident involves an external contributor to a peripheral tool; Keller was not a protocol team member or governance signer and had no access to core contracts per banteg's direct statement. Named signers (Conti, Egorov, Karapetsas, Cheng, Ephy) have clean publicly-documented histories at reputable DeFi protocols.
