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  • Smart Contract Risk: -20 pts if audits are outdated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

Market Risk Assessment

Beyond the code, we assess the financial health of the pool. With a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $170,286,156, this pool exhibits institutional-grade depth. High assets significantly reduces slippage risks during exits and suggests a high degree of market confidence in the Spark protocol. This depth is critical for institutional participants who require minimal slippage on exit.

Yield Sustainability

The current APY of 2.09% must be weighed against the utilisation rate of 45.72%. The pool maintains an optimal utilisation equilibrium of 45.72%. This suggests a healthy balance between borrowing demand and lending supply, ensuring yields remain competitive without compromising solvency. A sustainable yield is derived from genuine borrower demand, not just inflationary token emissions.

Protocol Security

Spark on Ethereum has been evaluated for historic exploits. The score of 100 integrates the protocol's age and its resilience during previous high-volatility events.

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.
