Research direction

Start with the recentActivity fixture in mock-data.ts, which lists the Stellar Development Foundation and Stellar Community Fund as funders, then find the homepage section that renders it under "Live on the platform". Check how the timestamps are generated and whether the feed is ever labelled as sample data. Done means the fixture uses clearly fictional sponsor names and the feed is marked as sample data. Open PR #749 already targets this, so review or build on it rather than starting a parallel fix.

Description

bug security

Problem

recentActivity in mock-data.ts includes { handle: "Stellar Development Foundation", action: "funded", target: "v2.0: Multi-asset escrow" } and the same for "Stellar Community Fund". The homepage renders this under "Live on the platform" (with timestamps computed to look recent), so production visitors whenever the backend isn't wired are told that real, named organisations funded MergeFi milestones. That's a misleading endorsement claim.

Suggested fix

Use clearly fictional sponsor names in fixtures, and label the feed as sample data.
