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 restaking vault protocol holding $9m, with no audit report retrievable at a public address at this check.

Our assessment

Kyros holds $9m in restaking vault products. No audit report was retrievable at a public address at this check, which is the main constraint on its score.

Vault wrappers add a layer to evaluate

A restaking vault sits on top of a restaking protocol, which sits on top of a staking protocol, which sits on Ethereum. Each layer has its own contracts, its own operators and its own fee take. The headline yield is net of all of them; the risk is the sum of all of them, and the second fact gets far less attention than the first.

The curator is the decision

With vault products, what determines your outcome is which services the curator chose to restake into and how they sized those allocations. That is an active management decision made on your behalf. Without published disclosure of the strategy, a depositor is trusting an unnamed process.

What is missing

No audit report at a public address, with thin transparency results. Contract risk carries 35% of the score in this category, so this gap dominates the outcome.

Who it suits

Kyros fits users already engaged with its ecosystem who have assessed the vault strategy themselves. Users wanting audited restaking should use Kelp, Bedrock or Eigenpie.

Reference

Frequently asked

Does this score mean Kyros 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.
