Safety Score Calculation Methodology

Base Score (Typically 60-80 pts)

Weighted Average Formula:
Base = (Asset Score × 0.4) + (Protocol Score × 0.4) + (Chain Score × 0.2)

Risk Penalties

  • Low TVL (<$1M): -5 to -15 pts
  • Very High Util (>90%): -10 pts (withdrawal risk)
  • Extreme APY (>15%): -5 to -10 pts (volatility risk)
  • Smart Contract Risk: -20 pts if audits are outdated

Deep Dive DeFi Risk Audit Report

Risk vs. Reward Ratio

Offering a yield of 6.41% with a safety score of 55.33/100, this presents elevated risk. The lower safety score suggests potential concerns with liquidity, utilisation, or protocol maturity. Proceed with caution. Investors are essentially insuring the protocol against failure; ensuring the premium (APY) matches the risk is pivotal.

Capital Fluidity

The utilisation rate is currently pivotal at 91.10%. This 'squeeze' scenario means nearly all supplied capital is borrowed. While this maximises yield efficiency, it introduces a liquidity crisis risk where lenders may face delays. High utilisation can lead to 'frozen' funds. Conversely, With a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $3,789,276, this pool exhibits institutional-grade depth. High market depth significantly reduces slippage risks during exits and suggests a high degree of market confidence in the Aave V3 protocol., ensuring that under normal market conditions, withdrawals remain fluid.

Chain-Specific Risks

Operating on Avalanche, this pool inherits the underlying consensus security of the network. We factor in the centralisation ratio of the chain itself into the final Safety Score.

Understanding DeFi Risks

What is Smart Contract Risk? Smart contract risk refers to the possibility of bugs or vulnerabilities in the code governing the protocol. Even audited protocols can suffer exploits if unforeseen vectors are discovered.
What is Financial Risk? Financial risk involves market factors like liquidity crises (inability to withdraw) or asset de-pegging. Our score penalizes low liquidity pools to account for this.
Is the Safety Score a guarantee? No. The score is a probabilistic assessment based on historical data and current metrics. It cannot predict "black swan" events or zero-day exploits.
