AI Reasoning: Found evidence of a41’s investment/collaboration activity in June 2023 (Sandbank delegated product to Polygon via a41) and continued validator involvement noted in Messari Q1 2025 referencing A41 as largest validator in Korea; however the latest identifiable investment-like collaboration referenced was in June 2023, which is approximately 28 months before the reference date used for classification, exceeding 12 months. But there is also evidence of ongoing operations/partnerships into 2025 (Messari May 30, 2025) showing activity less than 6 months ago, and social sponsorship in 2025; the most recent clear investment-related activity is May 30, 2025 (Messari report mentioning involvement with FLock and validator activities). The startup mentioned in sources: Sandbank (June 2023) and FLock (May 2025). Based on the May 30, 2025 activity (≈5 months before the classification date), this places a41 in the ‘active’ range.
