AI-generated summary of facts already in this registry — not a Rails assessment, not a risk score, and not a ranking. Per the project charter, the registry never produces its own composite risk judgement. Verify every point against the linked sources below. This is an illustrative preview of a proposed feature; the content is not live.
Feeds
How feeds see it
Seen through 1 of 4 methodology lenses (rating). A neutral view of who is looking and how — not a risk judgement.
Multi-dimension registry: Control, Exit, Autonomy, Open Access, Verifiability via LLM consensus.
View sourceDecentralization maturity: who controls keys, upgrades, and admin powers. Stage 0–2 framework.
Protocol risk research and parameter recommendations; collateral and governance risk.
Quantitative on-chain risk dashboards for lending markets: liquidations, collateral health, exposure.
Vault-level risk monitoring for Morpho curators: allocation risk and curator behavior.
Institutional-grade credit-risk ratings for DeFi protocols and borrowers. Credora by RedStone; GraphQL API + on-chain attestations (EAS).
Independent risk rating for DeFi vaults; 300+ subscores across 85+ mechanisms. Open-source.
Deterministic vault risk scoring across 700+ vaults: asset quality, code maturity, governance. Open methodology (public API, CLI, MCP server).
Vault analytics and risk-adjusted yield across 50+ protocols; exploits, concentration, risk-adjusted APY. Paid structured API.
Position-management tooling: live loan-health / safety-ratio tracking and automated liquidation protection for leveraged positions.
Real-time risk scores for DeFi liquidity pools: risk metrics, TVL, APY, security grades.
DAO governance-capture risk: delegate/voting-power concentration, cost-to-attack vs. treasury value, and proposal/power-shift monitoring across major DAOs. Open-source.
Risk ratings (A–F) decomposed into protocol, asset, chain, and pool risk across DeFi yield pools. Open whitepaper methodology. (Standalone product migrated into YO Protocol in 2026 — ratings shown are pre-migration samples.)
Process Quality Reviews (PQR): documentation, testing, audits, and admin-key practices scored 0–100. Transparency-of-process, not market risk.
Agent-based economic simulation: insolvency prevention, parameter optimization, and risk-scenario analysis for lending markets.
Edge risk oracles and economic-risk dashboards: real-time parameter automation and scenario stress for lending markets (active on Aave, GMX, Pendle).

Incidents
An attacker abused a pre-existing approval from the settlement contract to a vulnerable third-party solver's helper, draining ~$166K of accrued protocol fees. User funds were never custodied or at risk, and the loss was made whole via the solver bonding mechanism.
