Cybersecurity researcher Taylor Monahan has claimed on X that North Korean IT workers have been active in the DeFi industry for years, contributing to the development of numerous well-known protocols, particularly during the summer of 2020. According to CryptoPotato, when asked for specific examples, Monahan cited projects including SushiSwap, THORChain, Yearn, Harmony, Anchor, and Shiba Inu. He emphasized that the claims of seven years of blockchain development experience on their resumes are not false.
