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 small liquid restaking protocol holding $3m, with the thinnest published evidence base in this category.

Our assessment

ClayStack holds $3m and scores lowest of the fifteen restaking protocols in this comparison. No audit report was retrievable at a public address, and the transparency and documentation indicators returned very little.

Small and unaudited is the weakest combination

A large protocol without published audits at least attracts constant adversarial testing, and survival is weak evidence. A small one has neither the review nor the scrutiny. Both of the things that could give a depositor confidence are absent, and that is materially worse than either gap alone.

Restaking risk applies in full

Being small does not reduce slashing exposure. The stake still secures services whose slashing conditions have not been tested under stress, and the protocol has fewer resources to respond if something goes wrong. The yield does not compensate for a risk nobody has priced.

What the score records

An absence of published material, not evidence of wrongdoing. Publishing an audit report, documented mechanics and operator information at stable addresses would change this score substantially.

Who it suits

On published evidence, readers wanting restaking exposure should use Kelp, Bedrock, Eigenpie or Swell. ClayStack suits users already active in its ecosystem who have reviewed the contracts themselves.

Reference

Frequently asked

Does this score mean ClayStack ETH 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.
