Defiverly scores each protocol on a 0–100 scale using a heuristic model built on publicly available data. Lower scores mean lower risk. The model runs automatically on every data sync.
Each factor contributes penalty points (0 = best, 100 = worst). Scores are additive — a protocol with all factors at maximum risk scores 100.
Audits
Number of completed security audits. Audited protocols score better. Each audit reduces risk by ~5 points, capped at 25.
Age
Protocol maturity (time since first listing). Older protocols have survived more market cycles. 1+ year = max score.
TVL
Total Value Locked. Protocols with >$100M TVL demonstrate significant user trust and liquidity depth.
APY reasonableness
Suspiciously high APY (>100%) is a red flag. Unsustainable yields often indicate Ponzi mechanics or liquidity mining that will end.
Stable pools
Ratio of stable-asset pools to total pools. Stable pools (e.g. USDC/USDT) carry significantly lower impermanent loss risk.
Data confidence
Quality and completeness of data from DefiLlama. Protocols with sparse data get penalized for lack of transparency.
A
0–20
Very Low Risk
B
21–40
Low Risk
C
41–60
Moderate Risk
D
61–80
High Risk
F
81–100
Very High Risk

Smart contract vulnerabilities, team credibility, oracle risk, regulatory exposure, and other critical factors are not scored. Always do your own research.
