How this score was built

Each indicator scores 2, 1 or 0. A pillar is the points earned over the points available; the overall score is the weighted sum. Every source below is public — check any of them yourself.

A multi-chain yield layer holding $268m across seven chains, with no audit report retrievable at a public address at this check.

Our assessment

CIAN holds $268m across seven chains, more than any other yield aggregator in this comparison, and scores 5.7. No audit report was retrievable at a public address at this check.

Aggregators concentrate risk by design

An aggregator holds capital in its own contracts and deploys it into others. A failure in its contracts affects every depositor across every strategy simultaneously — which is why our counterparty pillar carries 40% here, more than in any other category we score. At $268m, that is a large amount of capital behind unverifiable contracts.

Leveraged strategies raise the stakes further

Where an aggregator runs leveraged or looped strategies, a modest adverse move in the underlying can produce a much larger loss for depositors, and liquidation mechanics that behave unexpectedly during volatility are a recurring cause of DeFi losses. Read whether a given strategy uses leverage before treating its yield as comparable to an unleveraged one.

What would change the score

Publishing audit reports at stable public addresses, with documented strategy parameters and incident history, would move this protocol into the upper half of the table without changing the code.

Who it suits

CIAN fits users who need its specific strategies and have formed their own view on unaudited contracts at scale. Users wanting published review should use Beefy, Fusion, Superform, Lulo or Yearn.

Frequently asked

Does this score mean CIAN Yield Layer is safe?

No. It measures what an outsider can verify: linked audits, published methodology and independently recorded market data. Contract risk is not tested by us.

Where do the TVL and audit figures come from?

A public analytics dataset queried at the verification date, plus the audit reports it links. Both are re-runnable by anyone.

Why do some protocols score zero on audits?

Because no audit report is linked in the public record. The indicator records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit exists.
