Best for audited protocol with published methodology
How it rates
- Audit report linked from a public dataset
- Accounting methodology published
- Single-chain deployment
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 yield vault protocol holding $19m with published audits, operating in an ecosystem with comparatively few DeFi alternatives.
Our assessment
DeFindex holds $19m with two audits and reports linked, providing structured yield vaults in an ecosystem where DeFi options are limited compared with Ethereum or Solana.
A smaller ecosystem changes the calculation
Where a chain has few yield venues, an aggregator's value is not squeezing the last basis point from a crowded market — it is providing access and automation that would otherwise not exist. It also means less competition to discipline fees and fewer independent eyes on the strategies.
Fewer destinations, more concentration
An aggregator allocating across three protocols is far more concentrated than one allocating across thirty. Whatever those underlying protocols do, your position does. In a small ecosystem, read the underlying venues directly — there are few enough that it is practical.
Evidence position
Two audits with linked reports and documented mechanics is a strong profile, particularly for a protocol outside the main DeFi ecosystems where published review is less common. At $19m, depth is modest and the exit path is redemption rather than a deep secondary market.
Who it suits
DeFindex fits users active in its ecosystem who want automated yield with published audits. Users on Ethereum or Solana have far more choice and should compare Beefy, Yearn or Lulo.
How rivals compare
Frequently asked
Does this score mean DeFindex 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.
